Can someone explain the significance of this grocery chain ?? There's one coming to South Bend and the media/citizens are going "bonkers" about it  . Are they better than a Kroger or Spartan type store ??

We have one in Omaha. I have done maintenance work in the building for them. They are very snooty and stuck up. I feel so out of place there that I dont go there to shop! ------------- Greg Kroeker 1950 WD with wide front and Freeman trip loader |

Is Trader Joe’s similar to Whole (paycheck) Foods? ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

Got one close to HF but I have never been in it. Seems to cater to the tree hugger crowd and their prices are higher than elsewhere. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Whole Foods Lite, they are not exclusively organic. Every so often they have some bargains, like the 2 Buck Chuck wine if that is your thing. Probably never find one on the poor side of town.

| That two buck chuck should be right up there on the wine list with Wild Eye. |

| I been in one twice. They wanted the old gal to make soap for them to sell. After visiting them. We did not feel like it was a good fit for us. Went back for some type of organic veggies for my younger sister. They didn't have them. Been years ago. |
