Got one a few blocks from where I work... gotta check it out!

Trader Joe's is owned by Aldi and Aldi is expanding throughout FL. So there could be a chance of getting a Trader Joe's here. But the Fresh Market is very similar to Trader Joe's. Have you been to the Aldi Store on 441? It has some of the same items you would find in Trader Joe's.

Can't beat it and my untrained taste-buds can't tell the difference between a 20 dollar bottle of wine and a 2 dollar bottle of wine anyway.

You and me both. Never tried 2 buck chuck, as there is no Trader Joes near me but I will have to sometime. I love the Whole Foods store about 4 miles from my home in Schaumburg, but I usually shop at Dominicks or The Jewel for my regular grocery shopping. When visiting TV, I liked the Sweetbay store in LSL and the Publix store in Southern Trace Plaza just north of 466.

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!

I'd rather have a COSTCO.

Would love to see Whole Foods in TV as well as Trader Joe's, we shopped both every week for specialty items. As for a Christmas shop, I have to ask, just how many Christmas decorations does one need? We took almost all of ours to goodwill.

Christmas Tree Shops sell many items. Food, furniture, garden ornaments and supplies, books, and even a few tools. They have something for everybody. They are probably best known for the different holiday decorations. (including Christmas)

The name "Christmas Tree Shop" is misleading, I believe the name indicates that it is Christmas all-year-round, we love the store for it has a variety of items. You can buy beach stuff, such as chairs, umbrellas, other items include curtains, bedding, furniture, glassware, food items, decorations, paper products, all occasion cards, gift wrapping/gift bags, lawn ornaments, and many, many other things, it is a great store and they have unbelievable prices, too!!!

"Don't you just looooooove a bargain"

trader joes and aldi are owned by different branches of the same family, but the companies have no relationship whatsoever.
as far as trader joe's and florida; without a distribution center within a reasonable distance there will be no joe's here within the near future.....i.e. florida expansion is not on their radar screen.

I wondered if you all knew that a new Trader Joes is opening in Naples, FL.
I love TJ's and have been writing on their website to open one near the Villages!
