Well, maybe it's time to start bugging the company again! Our 11 pm news here in Naples just announced that we are getting the very first FL Trader Joe's! It's going to open in a former Border's Book Store. I've never been to Trader Joe's, but from all I've read here on TOTV, I'm really excited about it! If the one in Naples works out, I don't see why The Villages couldn't be next!! :icon_hungry:

Here's the link from the Naples Daily News: http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2011/...coming-naples/
We had a Trader Joe's on Cape Cod and loved the store. Lots of very different things. Another store I would just love to see come to the Villages is a Home Goods. We had two Home Goods stores on Cape Cod (which is very seasonal area) and I would think the Villages could support a store. Home Goods is a great store for decorating your home. I have been to the two in Orlando and wish we had one closer. I will have to write a letter to TJX.

There's a Home Goods in Altamonte Springs, but we need our very own!!:spoken:

I have been in TJ's in CT as couple of times and found the quality of their products is excellent.

I have found the prices for what you get to be astounding in Home Goods.

I am a single guy that needed to decorate my condo to sell.

I say both stores would have a lot of TV customers if they moved within a reasonable driving distance especially if by golf cart. :)

I'm all for Trader Joe's and Home Goods, but let's not forget Christmas Tree Shop!:a040:
P.S. They're owned by Bed, Bath, and Beyond

Count me in on the carpool! We went shopping for wine yesterday and I was not happy paying higher prices than what I normally pay for wine at Trader Joe's. We are going to VA for Thanksgiving and Christmas, I can see us coming back with a few cases of wine. BTW, we also had Home Goods, another great store.

Seems like Trader Joe's would do VERY WELL in TV, because there are so many east coast transplants here.

My son just graduated from Duke law school, and he is so happy that there is a Trader Joe's in Palo Alto, where he has a position......I wonder if he'd taken the job if there wasn't a TJ's.......goofy kid!

So sad that the TJ's here in MD do not carry wine.......but they still have great food!

Trader Joe's vs Fresh Market
 
I am NOT in The Villages, because of this discussion I just went to a local Trader Joe's. It seems about the same as the Fresh Market on 466 only a little smaller.
