About this Article

A long, anxious wait for Libertyville officials has ended with the announcement Wednesday that Trader Joe's will be coming to town. The California-based chain will be building on a vacant site at 1600 S. Milwaukee Ave., near the village's southern entry. “That is what people have asked me about for years,” Mayor Terry Weppler said. He added he's been asked about Trader Joe's more than any other issue since he was elected four years ago.
