If I want decent non-packaged goods, like prepared foods, I would go to The Fresh Market.

I don't even understand why this thread was started. Was it just to bash TJ's? If you don't like it, don't lobby to have one. Otherwise, why stir the pot? It's not like TJ's is Tire Choice or something...

No, I didnt start this thread to stir any pot. As I stated, I had never been in one and was surprised by the small size at this location.....that's all! I was simply asking if anyone knew if different stores are different sizes. I know NOTHING about their food. I can't bash a store that I know nothing about.

I decided to look for online reviews of this particular store in San Diego. This is what I found.
"Customer service at this particular store is just as great as anywhere else. That all being said, I am not a big fan of this location. It's by far the smallest TJ's i've been in and the only one where I felt cramped walking through it as I tried maneuvering between people. Sadly, I didn't even feel it was that packed, it's just that the store is that small."

So sorry that I upset anyone. I would love to see a Trader Joes here in TV.

In here they say they plan to open in Davie, Florida...which I had never heard of. It is a town of 91K in Broward County. Wonder why THEM and not US?

Hope they don't think we are a bunch of old folks who wouldn't enjoy what they had to offer.

Trader Joe's almost alway opens their stores in or just outside of a college town.

And the Holiday season is magical at TJ's, with all the Italian and German foods they import that help keep Holiday traditions alive. And as for Three Buck Chuck, we can laugh, but many of Chuck's cabernets have won gold medals in international wine competitions.

TJ's is not about driving out the competition...you would probably not abandon your regular grocery store to shop there exclusively. It's about expanding your access to specialty items that are generally unavailable anywhere else.

Great post. Agree completely.

Hubby and I lived in Davie, Florida for 10 years. Lots of horse country there. Downtown Davie looks like an old western town. The Dolphins football team training camp is in Davie.

post deleted. Sorry.
