Trader Joe's is known for upscale retailing with a sense of humor. Unfortunately, so is their competitor Stew Leonard's, which is four times the size of this 20,000 square foot store, much better at nearly everything than Trader Joe's, and just 0.4 miles away.
I find Trader Joe's completely uninteresting because all of their stores are exactly the same. However, we will be touring one of their New Jersey locations in a while.
Head over to The Independent Edition tomorrow to check out an under-construction produce market, our last store in Paramus!
Seems a bit larger than many (what I could find on ours shows 12,500 Sq. Ft. and a story about a potential one suggests a range of 10,000-15,000 Sq. Ft.).
ReplyDeleteHowever, it does resemble others in that, even though the parking looks larger than ours (which is actually in part of what was a grocery store that was part of a local chain (Star Markets, not connected to the ones in either Boston or Rochester NY areas) in the 1980's, it doesn't look any less full, even with that competition so close by!
Now that you point that out, 20,000 square feet is quite large for a Trader Joe's. And yes -- they are always popular!
