Countdown to Trader Joe’s: T-minus 1 day.
While we’re sure none of you actually needed that reminder, Trader Joe’s is only 1 of the many major developments in Chattanooga, and we’ll be honest — it can be hard to keep up with all them, especially when some are years in the making.
To make it a bit easier, we’ve rounded up some of the top local developments in the works.
