Still waiting for the OP to say who they heard it from. I would be thrilled if TD did come here. Yesterday I went to TD in Winter Park and bought beautiful produce, bread, cheeses, fish from Alaska (frozen) and many misc items. I was a very happy girl.

Columbus OH has an Aldi's and Trader Joes within a 1/2 mile of each other.

Most Trader Joe stores are small. The Winn Dixie property would be much larger. I've only seen them in urban areas.

Checkers are a good source of accurate information.

Give me a Wegman's and you can kick Trader Joe's to the curb!!

Remember the rumor about Dillard's coming to TV. It was a done deal on 466 where the Buffalo use to roam! Now, no Buffalo either.

Rumors galore, mostly wishful thinking.....How many have you actually seen come true? How about TVIA, "The Villages International Airport" being built there as soon as they can buy enough land for runways. Plenty of space between Wildwood and Inverness.

Oh you better not pout
You better not cry
You better not shout I'm telling you why
Trader Joe's is coming to town

Joe sees you when your shopping
Joe knows you like Aldi's
And Wegmans would be better
But they both don't sell with a get one free


[you do the next verse]

i started writing something before i looked at other posts, a parody, but because of a recent event that is so wrong and so serious i don't feel like doing it anymore. that's why i deleted it.
