This is exactly accurate. When I was involved in opening locations we would never consider customer pleas just because it was so easy to organize campaigns where the data reflected the store couldn't be profitable...or even sustainable.
The easiest way to get a TJ is to make Sprouts and Fresh Market incredibly profitable and unable to keep up with the demands of those that live in and around TV for a sustained period of time.
When the demand and sales reflects that there is a large enough demographic to support a TJ and other related stores, then TJ could consider.
