Any DFWers super excited about Trader Joe's opening up stores? I've also heard that they are opening in Houston and Austin but I don't have any details on that. I still haven't made the trip to go but I am really pumped because I've heard such good things about it! I love that we have so many health food options here now.

I am crazy excited about one opening in Austin. I moved here from OC CA and I miss it so much. I'm sick of spending double for half at whole foods.0

I definitely agree with you on that one!!! The prices of some health food stores are absurd, and it really deters me from shopping there on a regular basis. But I've heard awesome things about Trader Joe's prices.0

I am excited that one is opening here in San Antonio! I think it is going to be in the Quarry area. Cant wait!0

Ooooooh I didn't know they were opening some but now I am excited!0

I went to the one in Fort Worth that opened last month and stocked up on all the items I normally ship from my trips back home to MI or from WA for work. I was also able to get all of the great frozen items I love like grilled aspargus, pre-cooked brown rice, potstickers, french green beans, etc.
The Plano location opens Sept. 7. I think I'm going to take the day off to go opening day....does that make me sound overly excited? LOL0 -
Now I am SUPER DUPER excited there's going to be a Plano location! I'm in The Colony so I can definitely hit up that one!0

I went to the new Woodlands (Houston) location last week. It's a little far for me but they are also opening 2 more in Houston I believe. My sister lives in DC and does a lot of her shopping at TJ she brings stuff for me whenever she visits or I visit her. I love, love, love Trader Joes!0

I live close to Trophy Club! I love Central Market too, but apparently Trader Joe's has really unique and yummy organic foods and is much more reasonably priced than other health food chains.0 -
Wish they would come to San Antonio. I hear so many great things about them!0

They are. It's going to be in the Quarry and opens on Oct. 2.
I used to shop in Trader Joe's when I lived in NY and have missed it. I like Whole Foods but it's so expensive. It will be nice to have more options for organic foods.0 -

It is always good for consumers when there is competition, so from an economic/innovation standpoint, I welcome the addition of Trader Joe's to the mix of health food stores in Texas. There are several such stores near where I live in northwest Austin (Whole Foods, Sprouts, Natural Grocers ... Central Market is a little further away, but I love that store). That said, I've only been in one Trader Joe's store (in Boston), and I wasn't that impressed.
Besides, Whole Foods and HEB (which owns Central Market) are Texas-based companies, and that matters to me, in terms of where I spend my money. I do most of my grocery shopping at HEB and local farmers markets, but when I need something that's only available at a health food store, I will probably still go to Whole Foods or Central Market.0 -
I wish Waco could get something like this!0

so a second tj opened in austin this year. I'm a tj fan from VA and CA stores. IMO, the seafood at the austin tj stores is always yucky and freezer burned. Anyone else have this problem?0
