When I read this, my face did this: I thought TJ's was EVERYWHERE! It's a grocery store. But saying that doesn't do it justice. It has awesome stuff, awesome people, it's just got a funky vibe to it. Google and find out for yourself. Their organic blue corn tortilla chips and roasted pecan blue cheese dip will make your eyes roll back in your head.
My only complaint is they don't have enough gluten free items. Every time I go, there's one about 2 blocks from my work, the gluten free bread bin is empty. I think they just have it there to tease me...

In the meantime, honestly, we have such GREAT shopping here, I don't think you will miss them too much. Plus, we have a lot of great independent stores and bakeries, gourmet stores and the best discount stores. I recently started shopping at the SuperTarget on University/Cattlemen and it has a fabulous grocery selection at great prices. And we have "Fresh Market" too, right around the corner from Target. I am soooooooooo spoiled here!
I heard in Tampa, a TJ will be opening in a year.

Default Sarasota is a done deal

Just spoke with the staff at the Naples store and was told that the Sarasota location will be opening this July!

Wow, really? Did they say where? How odd that no articles have mentioned it, I mean we are in February! LOL They sure like to keep their business a secret, don't they.....

If true, then I can't wait to check it out, never been to one. I am a big fan of their "cousin" ALDI, though.
