Aldi opening at 22nd and Washington + Heirloom Market & SouthSquare Market at 23rd/South + Trader Joes at 22nd and Market + Giant at 23rd and Cherry. Center City West is properly groceried.

The second TJ's on Arch between 13th and Broad looks well into construction at this point. It has yet to be announced by TJ's corporate, so I suppose it could end up being something else, but given these rumors a few months ago and the fact that permits were pulled and work is undereway for a grocery store, I'd be surprised if it were anything else:

For the record, I think this is a bizarre second play for TJ's. A suboptimal location relative to other things they could have done, but having one east of Broad should take some pressure off of the existing location.
