I wonder how long I will have to wait after it opens before it's not a madhouse there - people will be coming from all over the state to shop that tiny store.........

Great...now tell them to get going on the rest of the state! At this rate (one store opening every six months) it's going to take forever to see one for most Floridians. I've never seen a company with such success take so long to expand! When I lived in Philadelphia they very reluctantly opened a 5000 square foot store in Center City (downtown) Philadelphia. For many months after opening it was the highest volume store on the East Coast and it didn't even have a beer and wine license. Apparently TJ's brass aren't card-carrying Mensa members.

Haha - why don't YOU tell 'em Kyle! Honestly, I really don't understand the reluctance to open stores. They haven't had a failure anywhere, have they? Their cousin ALDI is far more aggressive and very successful, so you would think they would do the same. I haven't even heard any other announcements of them building any more stores yet, although the rumours were for Tampa a while back. Maybe they will announce something when this one opens, they announced Sarasota right after they opened Naples.
