I just posted on another thread that I heard a rumor from a manager at a store at the Cherry Creek Mall that TJs is finalizing a deal this Fall for a store in CC North, ground breaking early next year. I have no clue if it's credible, and have found nothing online to support it.

I live in Santa Fe and I got to tell ya that's the second best thing to come out of California! Drew Barrymore is the best!

That SF store is busy all the times but you can get checked out so quickly. What an awesome store. CO needs many.

There must be some other reason they are not there. CO is pining for them.

TJ's please indulge!

And yes, it does not explain why they're not in Denver or COS. Santa Fe is about 1/3 the size of the Springs and well Denver....tiny

It has to be a logistics issue. Same with In N Out. I wonder where your store is supplied from.

In many ways Sprouts is similar to TJ, but with more variety. Most other markets TJ is in doesn't have a competitor like Sprouts so its not as easy a case to come to Denver. In Phoenix area TJ's are pretty far apart if I remember right and that's the only market where they compete with Sprouts so I think there is something to this. Marketing for the two is definitely different, but the product lines aren't too far off.

There's one at Havana and Mississippi in Aurora.

As far as Trader Joes goes, I kind of like not having it, just because it's fun to hear gasps and similar reactions when I mention that there aren't any in Denver.

Sprouts and Henry's are the same thing. If you didn't look at the signs, you couldn't tell the difference. We have both of those along with TJs here.

I don't think Sprouts is anything like Trader Joes. They do have some nice produce now and again, but the meat is the same quality as King Soopers or Safeway.

Every time I have been to the Sprouts at Mississippi and Havana it is being shopped predominately by people 70 and older. There must be a lot of retirement homes nearby.

The only people who don't want a TJs in Denver are people who've never shopped at TJs It's more like a smaller Whole Foods only with cheap prices.
