I remember when they opened up a Trader Joes in Cary when we still lived down in NC and people raved about it. Went in there and was really underwhelmed. It has some interesting organic food choices (yes, cheap wine, but remember we still can't buy that at grocery stores in this state), and some high-end hard to find cooking ingredients. Pretty much everything else was overpriced with very little selection.
As cliche and stereotypical "WNY'er" of me it is to say this; it really isn't impressive when compared to Wegmans.
Don't worry Williamsville/East Amherst & the upscale suburbs of Syracuse will have one soon & then you can 2 Buck Chuck the night away.
I will pass on the 2 buck chuck lol.. I love everything else at TJ's though! It's closer than NJ at least! I lived at TJ"s in NJ! LOL... I am sure WNY will get one eventually.......have no fear!

If you believe the hype you will be disappointed.
Think of Trader Joes as a nice, very good neighborhood grocery store and you will be fine. Since they are all over California you accept them for what they are.
I still doi most of my grocery shopping there. Excellent meats. Unique foods. Good Wine selection. Best Store bought French Vanilla Ice cream in the world, and very inexpensive.

Wegman's is one of the things I really miss since I moved to San Antonio. The only game in town is HEB or Walmart. I have sent emails to Wegman's requesting they consider TX because I miss them so! I was part of a focus group for HEB in April and I asked the panel of factfinders if they were familiar with Wegman's and they looked at each other and reluctantly said yes. I said there is no greater shopping experience, IMHO, than Wegman's, take a lesson and learn from them.

I feel for you, HEB is awful once you experience a Wegmans (though they are better than the King Soopers we had in Colorado).
