A.F. Gilmore Considering Trader Joe's For Fairfax Project

Curbed LA followed up on rumors that Trader Joe's is being considered as a possible tenant at the A.F. Gilmore 3rd and Fairfax retail project set to rise on the current site of a parking lot and plant nursery. Vice president for A.F. Gilmore, Mark Panatier, responded, "We're talking to lots of folks," regarding the retail space. When asked directly about Trader Joe's? he repeated, "We're talking to lots of folks." So... Not a YES!, but Curbed seems to think they're a contender. Err, probably.
