It's official! Trader Joe's is coming to Town Center
The company posted on its website that it is opening a store in Town Center, at 220 Constitution Drive. It's going in the former Bed, Bath & Beyond site, in Columbus Village. In January, Armada Hoffler confirmed it found tenants to fill the space, but wouldn't say who they were.
Then, in February, WAVY obtained a copy of an ABC liquor license application filed by Trader Joe's for this location.
There is no opening date yet for the new Virginia Beach location. Trader Joe's said it will continue to post updates on the new store at this link.

Leaked advice shows big housing, AI news
A leak revealing the Treasury pre-wrote a list of outcomes from Labor's much-hyped economic roundtable is proof the 'whole exercise is being choreographed', Sussan Ley says. The roundtable will not happen until next week, and yet a Treasury document showed pre-written advice for cabinet, the ABC reported on Thursday. Among the recommendations was pausing the National Construction Code, which sets safety and environmental standards for buildings. The code has been criticised, including by the Productivity Commission, for driving up the cost of construction by imposing overly strict regulations. The leaked document also recommended a plan to roll out artificial intelligence to process building approvals. The Opposition Leader said it was clear the government already knew what it wanted from the upcoming roundtable. 'It's all been lined up, statements are ready to go out,' Ms Ley told Nine's Today. 'People are going there in good faith and they want to see outcomes. 'They want see us growing the economic pie and they want to see Australians pay less tax and be rewarded for their effort. 'I fear that none of those things are actually on the agenda at this productivity roundtable.' Her predecessor, Peter Dutton, took a 10-year pause on the National Construction Code to the federal election. Whether the policy remains in line with Ms Ley's vision for the Coalition is unclear. Further on housing, the Treasury advice recommended measures to streamline housing approvals and reforms to clear a backlog of 30,000 applications waiting to clear environmental hurdles. The artificial intelligence plan would be key to getting through that backlog. The focus on housing comes amid widespread expectations the Albanese government will fall short of its pledge to build 1.2 million homes by 2030. Employment and Workplace Relations Minister Amanda Rishworth defended the pre-written advice, saying it was normal for Treasury officials to prepare notes based on conversations in the lead-up to the big talks. 'It's not surprising that Treasury would prepare advice to government and, of course, in the lead-up to the productivity roundtable, there has been ministers and other organisations holding a lot of discussions,' Ms Rishworth told the ABC. 'There's been other roundtables led by government ministers discussing some of the challenges and some of the opportunities.' She added that it was 'a really good opportunity to bring people together and look at the very long term of what we need to do as a country'.

Mark Cuban: Here's Why Hard Work Isn't Enough If You Want To Become a Billionaire
Mark Cuban knows a thing or two about how to become a billionaire. Cuban, who has started and sold multiple companies, previously owned a majority stake in the Dallas Mavericks basketball team, and is a star of ABC's 'Shark Tank,' has a net worth of $6 billion, according to Forbes. Learn More: For You: Cuban is well known for working hard, but on a recent episode of the 'High Performance' podcast, Cuban said that hard work simply isn't enough. The other thing you need if you want to be really successful? Luck. Good Timing Is Good Luck Cuban concedes that much of luck is about timing. He related a story about playing rugby in college to demonstrate this. 'When I started (playing rugby) in college, in the lineouts, there were no lifts,' he said. 'You had to jump. I could jump. And so, I could be the second guy in the lineout, or I could be the fourth guy in the lineout and I played a lot more and started A squad because I could jump and get the ball. And I was strong enough and I could break through the line. 'Then, and I don't even know the date when they changed it to the lifts in the lineout, I probably wouldn't have played. So that was luck. That was total luck that I was born at the right time.' Trending Now: The Timing of the Internet Bubble Cuban had some good luck due to timing in his business ventures, as well. 'When I started Audionet and it turned into we went public right at the very exact time that the internet stock market was going nuts and the bubble was in place,' Cuban said. 'I probably wouldn't be a billionaire if the timing for our company wasn't the exact right time. 'It doesn't mean we wouldn't have been successful; we would have been. It doesn't mean I wouldn't have been wealthy; I already was. But to be a billionaire, for sure, you've got to be lucky. 'I don't care what anybody says. Timing matters. For smaller businesses, it's more effort. And maybe some luck, in terms of, hey, you know somebody, or you learned how to use AI better, or somebody down the street made the exact product that you were looking to sell, that's luck. 'But, like they say, luck is when preparation meets opportunity. That still applies. If you don't put in the work, if you don't put in the effort to learn and to always iterate and make yourself smarter and make your business better, then it doesn't matter how lucky you'll be.' Mindset is Also Key Cuban said that having the right mindset is also critical to success. And that mindset needs to allow for failure. 'If (stuff) doesn't pan out, you've just got to make a decision,' Cuban said. 'Sometimes it won't. I've had things fail, and it was just not going to work. You just keep on banging and banging and banging. 'I've run out of money, I've gotten fired from jobs, I thought I had something special with a company and it just blew up. If you're learning and iterating and getting smarter, it should be self-evident when something won't work.' Failure is all part of the process, according to Cuban. 'There's no shame in failing,' he said. 'It doesn't matter how many times I've failed. I just have to be lucky one time.' Hard Work Plus Luck Can Equal Success Mark Cuban is not the only entrepreneur to understand the value of luck, especially when it's combined with hard work. Samuel Godwyn, producer of Hollywood's first major motion picture, said, 'The harder I work, the luckier I get.' Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald's, said, 'Luck is a dividend of sweat.' While hard work alone may not guarantee success, luck by itself likely won't either. It's the combination of hard work and luck that will give you the best chance to get ahead.
