Two bits of piping hot Storefronting news we couldn't leave you without as the week winds down...
1) Manhattan: What hath Uniqlo wrought? Much-loved cult Japanese design store Muji plans to open two New York City stores in the second half of the year, WWD reports. Plans will be officially announced next month. [WWD via The Shophound]
2) Queens: Trader Joe's. Are there two sweeter Storefronting words? No, there are not. And thus, the glorious news that the Rego Park TJ's should be ready for a June opening. [Queens Chronicle]
