TRADER JOE'S! TRADER JOES! ANGRY MOB FOR TRADER JOE'S!



Kansas,

I was quite disappointed to move here and find no trader joe's in a 250 mile-radius (yes, I would consider driving 249 miles for a trader joe's).
And then, ALAS, I hear great news of 2 TJ's locations opening in KS city area in 2011. Wait- 2011?! That encompasses.....a whole year. Can you narrow it down a little bit? Tell me Spring of 2011, or June, 2011, not "2011". I am on pins and needles.

I actually drove by the location in Leawood where the Trader Joe's is going, and got very excited. Next thing I hear from the rumor mill is that there is "trouble" with......I don't remember, but it was something to the effect of Kansas being a little bitch about stuff. More importantly, I hear of problems with the TJ's in Leawood being able to sell liquor??? But of course not the one that will be in Missouri. Sounds like you're still being a buzz kill, Kansas.

Bring me my Trader Joe's, I say!
