    Trader Joe’s is great. I lived in California for a few years and grew to love it like no other commercial entity. Now we just need one to come to Denver!!

    Yay! I LOVE Trader Joe’s and until now have had to stock up on TJ’s goods when I visit my parents in MD. I can’t wait until I can get their products locally.
