I'm an out of towner who had never been to a Trader Joe's but have always heard the accolades everyone has had about this place. I decided to check it out when I had some time on my hands. I was impressed at the quality and freshness of the products I came across. There was quite a large variety of things you normally don't find at your run of the mill grocery stores. In addition, their ethnic sections were quite varied in stock.
The staff was very attentive and made sure on multiple occasions that I was finding what I was looking for and had no concerns finding anything. I really hope they have plans on bringing one of these to Tampa as I would definitely be a regular!
