Five months after getting its liquor license, Trader Joe's has finally begun work on its first Denver store, located at the corner of Eighth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard. Bulldozers began rolling at 790 Colorado Boulevard, where there will eventually be an 18,000-square-foot outlet of the California-based market chain.

The location will also include a liquor store; it will be the only Trader Joe's liquor store in the state. The company also plans to build a store in Boulder, at 1906 28th Street.

The Denver store is scheduled to be open by the end of this year.
