I'm hoping the same for Earth Fare. The last time I was there, the produce dept was at least 75% empty. That space is the perfectime size for a Trader Joes or, better yet, Sprouts!
Yes, a Trader Joe's would be nice. Can you get started on that, please? LOL.

Actually, I'd prefer a Sprouts!

Sprouts is what you get when you breed Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, I'm convinced of it.

Love it.

My favorite thing about Sprouts is that they carry non-organic produce at amazingly low prices. And often have unusual produce items (the yellow pluots I bought last week were specctacular) . The fish department is my second favorite thing (last week - ahi tuna and $5.99/lb and fresh wild sockeye salmon at $12.99/lb. Both were wonderful.)

The prices keep me away from Whole Foods - and I honestly don't care if something is organic, grass fed, free range, or massaged by 27 virgins. I do care about taste and price.

I used to shop at Sprouts in their very first store in Chandler, AZ. I'm delighted to have them back, but would be ecstatic to save myself the 12 mile drive.

I don't care for the Lowe' Foods at Brier Creek, either.

If HT is successful at Brier Creek, anf Publix finds a spot there then Lowes foods could be toast.

I like shopping at Lowes, but I'd like them to lower their prices. What I like is that I don't have to cross Glenwood to get to it. I hate the layout of the Walmart area as far as traffic. I hope Harris Teeter has entrance/exit on both TW Alexander and Glenwood, so it's easy to get in and out. Not sure what happens when they rebuild the road in that area.

Lowe's Foods #224, 8100 Brier Creek Parkway, Raleigh, North Carolina 27617-7599, underwent an update. Despite some improvements in original concepts, Lowe's Foods #224 does not have what Harris Teeter #304 will have.

I have not heard anything new in regards to Publix seeking locations in Wake County for additional stores. Publix in the Brier Creek trade area is doable.

I believe the shopping center has a road around the back that is accessible by both. The intersection with TW Alexander has a traffic signal , the intersection with Glenwood does not. There's also a smaller entrance from TW Alexander that goes directly to the front parking lot.

I believe that they'll find a site within the next couple of years.

Brier Creek is one of several trade areas Publix has not entered yet. (Clayton, Fuquay-Varina, and Holly Springs are notable mentions.)
