Thanks for posting this. I wish we had a TJ's close by. The nearest one is 90 miles away.

Great site. I am a TJ lover. I go to the same one as Todd, only it's another 75 miles farther for me. It is about a 30 minute drive from my Mom's so I go there when I visit. I'm going to save the article and refer to it next time I get there.

Thanks, L

I went to see a movie on Saturday and the only place it was playing was in Bloomfield Hills which is about 90 miles from where I live. It was a beautiful day for a ride and I left at 9 in the morning. I arrived at the theater about an hour before show time, so I had some time to kill. There was a Trader Joes around the corner. It was one of the nicer ones that I have ever been in and very busy for a Saturday morning. I was looking for Quinoa Pasta and they didn't have any in the store. I ended up not buying anything, but it was fun to look around. I really like to look at other peoples shopping carts to see what they buy. Almost everybody had wine in their carts.

I really enjoyed seeing "The Way Way Back" with Steve Carelle and Toni Collete.

They are getting that thing built really fast. Didn't they just tear down the old building about two months ago?

Actually, Amy, most of the site was a vacant with a few houses that were torn down, but they are going quickly.

Oh, I thought they tore down an old Applebee's. Am I thinking of something else?

Yes, you are thinking of the Boulder store, also under construction. It was scheduled to open this summer, but its not ready yet.

Since TJ's is one week away from opening three of the 5 stores announced for Denver, I thought I would share this

I am excited to finally have access to TJ's again.
