Trader Joe's opened a grab-and-go store called Pronto in Union Square, replacing its former wine shop, which closed amid a unionization effort. The move has sparked mixed reviews from customers and backlash from former employees, who suspect the closure was a response to their organizing efforts.

The company spokesperson stated that they are still looking for a suitable location to sell wine, while also confirming that all employees of the shuttered wine store were paid for their scheduled hours and offered positions in other locations.
