We were at the grand opening of Trader Joe's in Naples, the crowds were so big it took 4 police officers to manage the traffic! They gave a dozen roses to every woman in the store.

60+ miles away? If you are lucky enough to get 30 miles to a gallon, that's a
$16 trip in gasoline. Trader Joe's has some pretty good stuff, but not worth that kind of trip IMHO. |

Never really thought about the cost of gas but if you're getting only 20 miles to the gallon, that's $24 at the current rate of $4 a gallon to go 120 miles to Gainsville. BTW, gas here in NY is running $4.25 to $4.35 a gallon.

I say we need to get a road trip together for the grand opening. I have my two Trade Joe's frozen food sacks and am ready to go when they open. We live in NH during the summer and I stock up the moment we arrive home. If you enjoy a vegetarian life style, their tofu products cannot be beat... I'm so excited....

I would drive to buy their $3 wine. If you buy a couple of cases it more than makes up for the cost of gas then any food you buy the savings is a bonus

Trader Joe's is wonderful! I would make an outing of it and take an occasional field trip to Gainesville. I am so spoiled having them a few blocks away now! I am sure I will enjoy a little piece of NYC, even as I appreciate my new Florida lifestyle!

No. There is one in Sarasota and one in Naples.
