Trader Joes in that spot would get a ton of business from us, certainly more than any of the alternatives I've heard.

Actually, there is a rumor that the old Lynn's could be a future Trader Joe's. The developer is known to work with Trader Joes and the area is in need of a specialty market, but I could be mishearing things.

Hmm ... that would be consistent with TJ's practice of re-using interesting buildings in urban neighborhoods. Really, the one in St. Matthews is less typical, a boring storefront in a suburban shopping center.

There's a Trader Joe's in a boring storefront in a suburban shopping center in nearly every major city I visit.

Maybe their concept changed as they moved east? That was the way they worked in California, and I think they at least still give lip service to it. Did you ever see one in a new, purpose-built structure, though?

That's definitely plausible. I don't recall seeing one in a built-for-them structure, you're right about that.
