I am so happy that Trader Joe’s has landed in RI. I am originally from Massachusetts, and shopped at various TJ’s at the Boston-area locations while I lived there. I have missed shopping there since my move to the south. I missed it so much that 3 times I emailed them with potential locations to scout in my area. OK, I know that sounds crazy but so many people vie for them to come to their area that they have an online form to fill out with your location idea/request.
Alas, they didn’t choose one of my suggestions, the place they chose is about 20 mins from me, but they are here none the less opening on Oct. 31!
Here in the Bethesda area of Maryland, there are actually a ton of Trader Joe's, and its awesome.
