Trader Joes KC
Anyone been yet? Whats the fuss? Its just a grocery store right?



http://www.kcconfidential.com/full_c...full=yes&pbr=1



Fast forward to this week's hot July weekend in Kansas City and Friday's grand opening of not just one, but two TRADER JOE'S grocery stores---the upscale sister business of German owned ALDI stores.

A grand opening without any advertising no less!

(Note: TJ's takes all credit cards. Aldi doesn't take any. And the second TJ location is at 119th and Roe in Leawood.)

Barricades at Ward Parkway Center, security officers, long lines, humanity in mass. You'd think these people had never been to a modern supermarket. Or God forbid, a WHOLE FOODS.

As I was driving past the new Trader Joe's off State Line Friday morning, I swore to stay away from the place for at least a month before checking it out. But curiosity got the best of me Sunday afternoon and off to Ward Parkway Center it was.

Trying to find a parking spot anywhere close was a major challenge. But I lucked out with a spot on the far north side of Target's parking area.

What did I find inside the new store?

Massive crowds, many semi-empty shelves that couldn't be restocked fast enough and some pretty tasty looking goodies. Pricing at first glance seemed to be good to average. A six pack of Beck's beer $6.99, while a gallon of milk sold for $2.99---good prices.

Did I stock up?

No way! Eight checkout lanes. Each with lines at least 20 shoppers deep.

Will I go back? Sure, why not---when things have settled down a bit that is. Until then, it's HyVee, Price Chopper---and dare I suggest--Whole Foods for me.

it seems decent quality to me. I'd shop at Aldi's, but I never seem to have a quarter to use a ****ing cart. What kind of shit is that anyways? locking up the carts, went there once to shop, didn't have any change, saw that you had to put in a quarter for a ****ing cart that you will use to put stuff in so that they can charge you. So I just got back in my car and went across the street to Target instead. Never been back, never will.

The quarter thing is to save on personnel. You get the quarter back when you return the cart to the queue. That way they don't have to hire someone to round them up from the parking lot.

They have some great crackers as well as salsa/pico. I do not have one here but shop when I am in a town with a TJ. Good wine selection as well.
