I don't know in what areas all of Trader Joe's stores are located but they are a big, big thing with the upper-middles & richies here in the Baltimore area. I've been in our local one just once, and I left with the same impression I had the one time I went to one of the local Whole Foods outlets. If you're not of a certain political persuasion and didn't run with the hippies you weren't their kind of people.
Thankfully for us, Wegman's is exploding in this area in a big way, and there are now 3 Wegman's stores in the Baltimore metro. Something I will dearly miss once we are permanent in TV area.
