Is a New Grocery Store Coming to Libertyville?
What would you like to see in the vacant spot once occupied by Frank's Nursery on the village's southern edge?

If you've driven past the empty tract of land where Frank's Nursery was located years ago and have seen the sign touting a grocery store on the site, you've probably been wondering just what will be built there.
"The developer is planning a grocery store there, but there has not been any announcement yet," said Village Administrator Kevin Bowens.
While there may not be anything to announce just yet, there is definitely some speculation.
A recent story on Vernon Hills Patch about residents hoping for a Trader Joe's in their village prompted this comment from a reader:
"They are going to open in Libertyville, it's all set, old Frank's Nursery location across from Lowe's," the reader speculated.
So we want to know: What are you hoping to see in that location? Tell us in the comments!

I'd LOVE a Trader Joe's and think it will do well here in Libertyville. Hate to see another false start on the property... the sign says a grocery store is coming "early 2013".... but still no activity over there..

I remember that they were talking about a grocery store AND a new metra train station...now THAT would be great! Let's get a new metra station there!

With Marianos and Jewel right there, we don't need another grocery store. I hate towns that clutter up the land with endless chain stores, half of which end up empty in a few years. How about plant some trees. That's my vote!

TJ's will go to Vernon Hills... Libertyville has a fascist (sp) group to drive business out of town.

Trader Joe's - All the ones in Illinois are a long drive from Libertyville.
