Wonder if I whip out my Florida DL if it could be my ticket to get in? Damn. I should have tried and just played stupid I was at Target, so close, yet so far away. Oh well, I'll get there next weekend - not going near it this weekend. Will have to look up that news story and live vicariously through others for the first week they're open.

I watched he segment on WYFF about this store. It looks like they might steal some business from Whole Foods customers. Does anyone agree?

I would tend to say yes, at least to items that are the same, or similar. Unless it's on sale at WF, I think TJ's will be cheaper, but not everything at TJ's is cheap, all depends on what you are looking to buy. Of course there's the things you can find no where else BUT TJ's.

I see them more as complementary. Their formats and targeted customers are different.....certain thing Whole Foods does very well that TJ's doesn't compete on well (bakery, hot foods, health and beauty, name brands, etc). Certain things TJ's does well that Whole Foods doesn't compete on (price, cheap wine, specific TJ's branded goods).

If most people are like me, they'll cross shop and buy some at both stores, especially given the fact they are only a block apart.

Oh yeah, big time. We were talking about that today, although we are regular shoppers at Whole Paycheck () we will lessen our trips there once TJ's opens.
