| - Besides the madhouse that is the parking lot, this is a great store. All TJ devotees are already familiar with the great service and delicious food selections.
Before moving from the Highland Creek area to South Charlotte, all of my TJ shopping was done at the Mallard Creek store. I only went early in the morning to avoid the crowds and the lines. Last Friday afternoon, I decided to swing by this store for the first time. After circling the parking lot a few times, I almost gave up. I'm not a lazy individual- only determined to get one of the close spots right by the door of any establishment. Even the opposite side of the lot by the CVS and other stores was completely filled. On my way out of the lot, I saw a sign for more parking in the back. Finally!
Inside, the place was slammed. I cursed myself for procrastinating on getting groceries earlier in the week. There are many more items for sale here than I've ever seen at the other Trader Joe's in the north part of the city. After grabbing my bacon cheddar cheese block, my striped lobster ravioli, French vanilla ice cream, some Alkaline water and a few other essentials while trying to stay out of the way of other shoppers, I made it to the counter.
I asked the cashier if this is a typical Friday. He told me it's a typical everyday! Great store- but I refuse to return unless it's at 8am, as the doors open.
Who knows what goodies I missed out on!
