Still don't get it. 90% of their stuff is available for less (much less in fact) at my local market (Market Basket). They have a large selection of their own cereals but that's no draw for me.

I guess I'll never understand the fascination.

Fresh Market is closer to Whole Foods in terms of style than it is Trader Joe's.
I haven't lived very close to a Trader Joe's since I left California in 1997. Back then they were a bargain, for example - 2 Buck Chuck. In California they had full liquor stores and good prices. I was single when I first started to go there and they had a good selection of food that was quick to prepare and pretty tasty.
