Florida is getting Trader Joes!

Defuniak Springs, Florida

I grew up in the PNW where there was a Trader Joes about ten minutes away from where I lived, at just about any location that I lived at. So it was a little weird when I moved down here and we didn't have any TJ's. We have a couple Whole Foods. Aldi's have been popping up all over but we haven't had Trader Joes anywhere near where we live. Well it was announced today that we are going to be getting some TJ's here in Florida. I didn't click to read the whole article but at first glance it didn't show anywhere real close to us. But it gives me hope that we will get a Trader Joes sooner rather than later. Do you have a TJ's near you? Are you a fan?

I like them, but I don't go out of my way to go there.

@thislittlepennyearns - Off the top of my head, I can't think of where the nearest one is.

@teamfreak16 I am sure there is one. Denver is too big of a city for there not to be. How far are you from Casa Bonita.

Do you have one close? I think there was one in Denver when I was there.

Basically every store you can think of are close distance here. No, not the regional ones found in Florida but all the majors.

Yeah. I remember that about my time in LA and I’m sure it has gotten even more so in the last twenty years.

I have never been to a Trader Joe’s, but I’ve always wanted to go to one. They are about to open one in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. Hopefully, I can go sooner than later.

We've had a Trader Joe's in Gainesville for years. Cool place. Unfortunately, it's on the other side of the city from where I live, so I don't get over that way much often.

The last time we were in Gainesville, I was annoyed because nothing was open after like 10 PM
