The Villages is the antithesis of the Trader Joe shopping demographic. If they ever open a store here, it will a long wait in my opinion.

That said, I just don't get it. I drive past one most every day, when I'm not in TV ... twice. I might stop in once a year if I'm desperate for a particular item and don't want to go to a real grocery store, but for every day shopping, TJ is a definite non-starter.
