Trader Joe's
 

Everytime I return to California, I miss Traders more. I have to get them to open some Utah locations.

While you're at it, include Virgina (I love T.J.'s!)

It's a nice grocery store to be sure. You have to time it right to minimize contact with hippies looking for cheap wine and flaxseed oil, but it can be done.

Did it somebody say flax seeds?

I'm a little surprised Utah doesn't have one actually. They seem like quite a trendy little place, and Utah loves trendy consumerism.

P.S. Gidget, I don't know where you are in VA, but there are Trader Joes all over the DC area.

There's one in DC-area Maryland on the Rockville Pike. It's kind of slummy compared to most, though.

I like them for the food and the prices, don't like them because they are so trendy and all the hippies.

But they carry Orangina so that outweighs all the negatives.

Yeah, I googled it. About an hour north I think, in Fairfax. And that is from Fredericksburg, with no traffic . . . ..

We are getting a Trader Joe's and a Whole Foods both opening within a mile of our house. Should help property values. I actually much prefer WF, however.

WF is too expensive. TJ's is more of a Palin type place to shop. This thread makes me feel good. Within 5 or so miles of my house are 3 TJs and one WF. Not mention a Mcdonalds, a few Burger kings and a Wendy's.
