Matanky Realty Group’s Jefferson Park Deal Receives Media Attention

Matanky Realty Group is proud to share that our upcoming deal, the future home of Trader Joe’s at 6200 W Higgins Avenue, is making headlines across Chicago.  Specifically, this transformative project has been spotlighted by the Chicago Sun-Times and Block Club Chicago. To emphasize the project’s significance to the community, Alderman Gardiner stated:

“By adding a Trader Joe’s to our Jefferson Park, we will now have an anchor store that will help attract more business and residents to our community.”

Behind the Deal

This achievement was made possible through the efforts of Terri Cox and Brandon Nieves, our expert brokers who marketed and listed the former CVS site. Their dedication and expertise helped secure Trader Joe’s for this location, navigating rezoning challenges and assessment. From initial community meetings through City Council approval, our team worked closely with local stakeholders to ensure the project’s alignment with neighborhood needs. As a result, the store is anticipated to support both local commerce and Jefferson Park’s growth.

A Community Favorite: What is Trader Joe’s?

Started in California in 1967, Trader Joe’s is currently one of America’s favorite grocery store chains due to the low prices, in-house brands, and distinctive neighborhood charm. This new location in Jefferson Park, reported by Block Club Chicago, will mark Trader Joe’s seventh store in Chicago and its first on the city’s Far Northwest Side. Bringing signature shopping experience to an entirely new part of the city, Trader Joe’s continues its strategic nationwide expansion. Reflecting this growth, Nakia Rohde, spokesperson for Trader Joe’s, noted in the Chicago Sun-Times:

“We are actively looking at hundreds of neighborhoods across the country as we hope to open more new neighborhood stores each year.”
