Happy to hear that, but Winter Park is not terribly much closer than the Trader Joe's already in Gainsville. Maybe they will keep coming closer....

Much closer than the TJ's in Gainesville. I'll be packing up my cooler and adding Trader Joe's to my Costco, Marshalls, Christmas Tree Shop run that I do each month. In all it's about an hour and 15 minutes from TV... So worth the trip.. Anyone want to car pool?

You can get to Gainesville in an hour, if your not dawdling.

It's the adventure, not so much the drive. You never know what you'll find at these businesses and stores.....

going to winter park is not a grocery shopping trip..it stolling hand in hand in a shopping district, having lunch and just stopping to smell the flowers, and then you go to trader joes...up north we do a shopping trip that takes us 45 minutes from our home, going to sams, costo, trader joes and whole foods..so a trip to winter park would be about the same for us except there is no snow in winter park

To Gsinesville is an easy one hour drive and TJ's is right there. Never driven to Winter Park, don't know how to go or how find where TJ's is. I only go every 2 months or so to the one in Gainesville and it is so worth it.
