They tend to be pretty big stores too so not likely they will make it up this way. I thought about the Whole Foods on Columbus but threw it in the mix anyhow.

The new one in downtown brooklyn is great. Whole Paycheck is not a good fit... plus with them opening one on 100th and Columbus soon, I doubt they'd have another one so close, granted it's a totally different catchment of people. TJs may not be high end, but its good quality... and as we've discussed on UF before, access to quality produce, meat, etc. is very important for all of Harlem's residents. I am all for Trader Joe’s.

I agree that TJ's has much better prices (though they have gone up considerably over the past year) than Whole Foods which is nicknamed Whole Check. Whole Foods will get me about a bag of groceries compared to TJ's where I wind up with about 4 bags. Thanks for commenting LadyBean.

Right now it would make sense for them to come to a community like lower Harlem. In that sense it would make them of a higher caliber than an Associated or Met which is what is currently in Harlem.

I've shopped in Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, and I'd rather see TJs. I believe TJ's has comparable quality goods, for less money then WF. And, I'd be able to walk there and back. Always an added plus. I’ve been reading this blog for a few months now; this is my first comment. I’ve shopped in Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, and I’d rather see TJs.
