Trader Joe's in GSO

[WakeGal]

Figured this was worth it's own thread.

Trader Joe's is possibly looking into opening a store in Greensboro!

Sweet. The proposed site is right in our back yard.

If true a site in Winston would likely soon follow

Devil's advocate: people from Winston will drive to Greensboro; you are never getting one.

They need to put the Trader Joe's in downtown Winston, somewhere near Krankies would be good.

No self-respecting Winston-ite goes to Greensboro unless they absolutely have to. FACT.

Interesting strategy by TJ's to expand into the small towns.

I've heard rumors that TJ's is looking at spots just off of Stratford.

Truth. I'd rather drive to the north Charlotte location.

And Winston seems way more like TJ's demo than Greensboro. I know the population is obviously greater, but I'm a little surprised it's GSO over Winston, as far as we know. I tend to think both cities will get one soon.

Nitpick, but neither Greensboro nor Winston are small towns. They aren't even small cities; they are mid-size cities.

 

[HeavyPetter]

Touchy, touchy.

 

[BillBrasky]

TBR, don't get too upset with Petter. He's just mad that he lives in a city that is a decade away from being annexed into the states of Ohio and New York.

Where does he live?

Well according to his (and another late poster's) posting history, Charlotte. Well that...and its listed right under his name.

Haha, sorry, didn't sleep much last night. I am an idiot. :thumbsup:

Damn, a quick google search showed me that the triangle grew 33% the last 10 years. No wonder traffic has gotten so much worse.

I'm not a Winstonite, but I do work here.

Greensboro has some great downtown restaurants, such as Liberty Oak.

I'm not even sure Greensboro actually exists.

The only reason to go to Greensboro is to pass through on the way to Whitsett/Red Oak Brewery :drool:
