I'll be there at 7:30am for the grand opening. I'll of course take lots of pics and post them in this thread. Performance by this band during the opening celebration is slated also: Hear Steel Drums Play feat. Minsky Delmonte concert in Greenville, SC at Trader Joe\'s

Go get some sleep, you'll need your rest to have enough strength to fight off those flying purses. Also, do remember, these women will be pushing carts and if you think purses can hurt....

I'll be in town this weekend and plan to go at some point. Maybe tomorrow evening if I arrive in time, and if not then probably on Saturday. I expect it to be a zoo regardless.

GMAN, where or where are you? Have you been plummeted by purses, run over by fast wheeling shopping carts? Just run down by a surging crowd of crazy shoppers??????

Glad to hear you're alive and well Thanks for braving the "small crowd" and getting us those great pictures. Any estimate of how many people were waiting in line? How long the first person was standing in that line to be the first to get in? Do you see people buying a lot, or more curiousity seekers?

I'd say 100-150 people possibly more were waiting in line when the doors opened at 8am. There were about 10 people in line when I got there at 7:30 this morning. Not sure what time they arrived. Almost everybody seemed to buying stuff. The checkout lines were slammed.

I think there is at least 150 people in your shot of the line stretching past Academy Sports.

Interesting, one of the photos by the refridgerated products (2nd one from the bottom) it seems there are mostly older people in that shot. No wonder you made it out of there alive and well Gman!
