RE: Grocery store we need
 
I would like to introduce you to Trader Joe's We have loved this store and all the quality items they carry. An upscale grocery store that searches the world for items to carry under their brand. Very good pricing, and a lot of items that other stores don't carry! A lot of the cheese, meat, fish etc are of good quality and cheaper than most other grocery stores.

Check out the link below

Please join me in trying to get Trader Joe's to come into the Lady Lake area! We have the people to attract a store of this quality and we deserve to have a great option for grocery shopping!

What makes you think we don't already know about Trader Joe's? The population here has come from every state and other countries.

Various threads here have already discussed this.....contacting TJ to tell them to open one.

THANK YOU Robert Craig Poe for bringing up Trader Joe's. That brings back some great memories of visiting family in San Diego. Went to TJ to get supplies for the "mass feedings" of too many relatives. Got LOST<beyond lost> Stopped to ask directions from a lovely couple in TJ parking lot on University Ave? ( Yes it was the SECOND time I was in a TJ lot...How the He77 was I supposed to know there were 3 TJ within 4 miles of each other) They were nice enough to LEAD me back to my( 8 mile away) destination. AND.... yes I like TJ too.

There have been several letter writing and emailing efforts to get Trader Joe's here. Sadly, I don't think it's going to happen. The closest one is in Atlanta. They have a distribution problem, i.e. can't go too far from their distribution centers.

We need a NFCU!
 
NFCU would be an asset to TV. I am sure there are people familiar with this bank & their high quality of services.

Love Trader Joes...been a customer for a few years up in VA! Love NFCU...been a customer for over 35 years up in Philly, VA...:thumbup:

Just what we need another bank.....I think there is a vacant lot on 466 bankers row.

Bogie Shooter 07-23-2011 07:47 AM

Fresh Market seems to have many of the things that were mentioned for TJ's.

Does NFCU stand for Naval Federal Credit Union?

pjolson 07-23-2011 07:52 AM

NFCU = Navy Federal Credit Union. Top notch institution.

I thought so, but wasn't sure! Thank you! :thumbup:

TJ? no thanx...been to one here up north...if i feel like overpaying for my groceries in tv - i'll just go to fresh market...we have enough grocery stores in tv now. i'd rather see a christmas tree shops move in to where porters used to be!

Trader joe's
 
We were delighted to find one in Portland when we returned to Maine this spring. The Fresh Market is close but pricier.
