Our town has major Trader Joe's mania going on -- the new store opened a couple of days ago and made the front page of the paper. We finally got over there tonight and stocked up on some of the yummy goodies. Its definitely going to be nice having one on the way home from work!
I remember when we got one in Falls Church, VA where I used to work about 10 years ago. There were two women in the office from California who knew what we were getting and practically camped out at the store to be one of the first people in, then went back for lunch and pretty much every day afterwards for a while, taking us newbies along at times to show us the ropes. Now, of course, the stores are everywhere, but they're no less appealing and the local community was just as excited as Valerie and Jess were all those years ago (even though there are some in not-that-far-away San Jose).
