Haha I always think more or less along the same lines now.

The area would be PERFECT for a Trader Joe's and have sent in multiple requests over the years and nothing. I mean, the nearest TJs in multiple directions are 3 hours away. Geographically alone it's in a prime spot.

They'd make a killing here with their specific stuff and at this point someone has got to be blocking them for TJs to still not be in Springfield.

They aren't concerned with filling in gaps. They are looking for markets with specific attributes, and we are much too poor and uneducated.

We're much more of an aldi market. Its probably the closest thing this poor town will get to their sister company, Trader Joe's.

They're not in Columbia either... Talk about a place that's really perfect with all the liberals.

Nah, I’ve heard this too. I’ve heard their staff is very cult-like. Not sure why you’re getting downvoted

I really could care less. It's easy to downvote when you are a rich asshole who shops there. Must be nice, none of us could.
