Interesting, but I prefer my Whole Foods Market


We went in a Trader Joe's today.


It was literally crammed with people, all in their mid-thirties to mid-fifties, reading labels and carefully selecting produce and organic grains.  I couldn't find the veganaise I wanted so I skipped the checkout lines--four to five deep--and left.

Later we checked out the new Super 1 Foods (a discount grocery) that replaced our Brookshire's in McKinney.  The produce department was brand new, clean and filled with shiny and appealing fruits and vegetables.  The shelves were immaculately neat, well-stocked and easily to navigate.  And there were only two or three people there.

Dare I to suggest that consumers are finally voting with their feet?
