Very Good News for Fort Collins CO

:) Love those two pals from Central California - isn't it just like them to send you a seasonal treat?  As for Trader Joe's...you're going to have so much fun exploring that store. And, I totally agree, their presence will have a positive impact on the area.

Hi Dick --- oh my  Trader Joe's gain(in sales volume) might likely be AR's loss in your posts and comments(just kidding).   You're definitely going to be in culinary and gourmet heaven when TJ's arrives.   

Within about five miles or so, I'd say there at least a half dozen or more Trader Joe's convenient to me.

Hello Dick,  I guess I need to check this Trader Joe's out.  Never been in one, but now you peak my interest, did I mention, I like to cook.

Hi Dick, I'm jealous! I'm going to start moaning and complaining, so want one in the area. Trader Joe's is a market heaven.

Dick - I had to smile as several of our friends that live around the country were also so EXCITED to have Trader Joe's coming to their town.  I get it - TJ's is fabulous and one of my favorite shops. Always so many interesting items and staples too. 

WOO HOO...that's another reason to visit Fort Collins. Lucky you. We probably won't see a Trader Joes on the Western Slope for many years to come.

Argh!  Fort Collins gets everything first.  lol.  Now this just might be worth the drive up north to visit my favorite Fort Collins expert Realtors with a Trader Joe's detour.

D*MN that Boulder! They get the good granola, bikenstocks AND Trader Joes. But of course, your precious FOCO is always next in line. Perhaps we will get one down here soon - I feel a shopping spree coming on!!!! 

Love Trader Joe's.  We were supposed to get on in Lovettsville back in 2005.  Then the real estate market crashed and they couldn't see a customer base coming with new construction.  Oh well.

The nearest one to me is near the trap range in Centreville.  I get there often.

Dick welcome to the big time, Fort Collins is now one of the big boys :)

I have heard a lot about Trader Joe's but have never been to one.  I guess I need to make it a point to stop in at one.

Love TJ's!  We just got one in our neck of the woods... this after starting a FB rant with thousands of fans putting pressure on the Corporate office to take a look at Southern Oregon.  I'm proud to say that it worked!

BTW... I was in Fort Collins yesterday just for lunch ;-)  Nice town!

Dick,

Got a late start on AR today, thanks for the link.  We are great fans of TJ and when we lived in Napa, we used to drive for a half an hour to fill our pantry...We were so happy when they opened there.  So, I am delighted that you now have your very own. A

I would love a Trader Joe's in my area. We don't have one unfortunately and I don't expect it in the near future. =(

Dick, Having a Trader Joe's near you will be a real treat, especially for an accomplished chef like you.

Dick, who doesn't love a cinnamon broom to make the whole house smell like fall.

Wow Dick what a coincidence. We were shopping in Trader Joe's and bought a cinnamon whisk just the other day. Margie picked it out and I at first had no idea what the heck it was. I love it. We got some great stuff and I have to admit, I am not going to Whole Foods, too expensive. I hope you get your Trader Joe's and enjoy the store.

Hi Dick,  I have never been to Trader Joe's but I have heard great things about them!  I had also heard they were coming to Fort Collins but did not pay attention as to where.  Thank you for the information and have a great weekend!  Mike.
