Trader Joe’s lines to pay are crazy. Good Christmas cookies and appetizers yum.
They are crazy but it's amazing how fast they move. The problem with the lines is actually that the lines of shoppers get severely in the way of the people who are trying to shop, because they wind all the way through the store at busy times.
Is anyone taking. bets on what stores it will drive out of business?
The prospective TJ location will be a 3-minute walk from a Food Cellar grocery store that has only been there for 4 years and a 5-minute walk from a Key Food in the opposite direction.
Food Cellar will probably survive because half of their store is their hot buffet, salad bar, pizza counter, gyro counter, sushi counter, etc; things that TJ doesn't offer that will continue to bring in business.
Key Food (which was the only grocery store south of the bridge in LIC for a long time) gets a lot of business from the small remaining working class population within its neighboring blocks to the south and east but I'm less confident that even the area's rapid growth will be able to support that store as well.
that’s good news. LIC is really making a name of its own
