I understand your feelings since there was a Trader Joe's near me in CA. Like the one you described in that it was mostly frozen food. I was not impressed. Recently, I visited my son in Chicago and there was one across the street from our hotel. My DIL mentioned she shopped there a lot as well as the Whole Foods in the other direction. So, we went in to take a look and it was a completely different store from the one in CA. Fresh food and vegetables as well as other foods. There were frozen foods as well, but it was a much more complete food store. Now, I was impressed. I hope the one in Gainesville is as complete.
