Trader Joes is coming to Pittsford.

For those who don’t know what it is, it is a grocery store unlike the Tops or Wegmens or the other giant stores. They have many products but somehow manage to not make you walk a mile to get them. They have many healthy and/or organic products. They have their own brand but it is not the typical crappy house brands at Tops or Walmart, it is good stuff.

There is a nice spot just waiting for them at the Plaza in East Aurora. :smiley:

No we’ll leave that spot empty for some more years and keep building coffee spots and rite aids lol but look awesome

I wish Buffalo would get one of those, or a whole foods.

Had them in CT, definitely awesome. Small footprint, use an old plaza store that was abandoned. Stopped at a Wegmans in Syracuse & they did the Wal-mart thing… closed a store, and built a new one next to it, and left it standing empty, lame.

I have consumed many bottles of charles shaw from trader joes, hopefully we will get one someday so I dont have to import it from cleveland

Psh… we are still holding out for the Bass Pro.

They won’t sell their cheapo wine here because of the dumb NY liquor laws. Wine for some reason is sold at liquor stores in this state.

They talked about changing that recently. My friend who owns a liquor store next to Tops was happy it didn’t change. :slight_smile:

we (rochester) don’t even have it yet and you already want to copy us.

It’s 5 guys all over again.

Don’t even think about ranking Rochester in the same league as Pittsford. lol

Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods are both awesome. However, Whole Foods is ridiculously expensive. Pretty cool place, though. I went there on a saturday evening to pick a few things up and they had a band playing on the patio lol. That’s when you know you’re overpaying for your groceries. Trader Joe’s keeps shit cheap, and everything is really great quality. Love getting cheeses, sausage, chicken, produce, tater tots, coffee, etc… from them. The beer and wine selection is great too.

Pittsford is just a rochester suburb, it’s not like it’s some other city.

I know that but, it is also the highest income zip code in NY outside of NYC so linking it to rottenchester just doesn’t seem fair. lol

you’re looking at it wrong. pittsford is a part of what makes Rochester good. you can’t just take all the good stuff out and say what’s left sucks. It’s only a 10 min drive for somebody downtown to go to trader joes or wegmans in pittsford.

I realize that a lot of the income of those people comes from Rochester. Just sayin, Pittsford is nice lttle town. :slight_smile:

I thought I saw on the news this morning that we were getting one in western ny somewhere…maybe i was seeing things

edit: Kenmore is trying to get them to come…nothing final

Pittsford is WNY, I guess.

There’s already a huge issue with parking in Pittsford Plaza, this is going to make it worse.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

You are pretty much comparing Williamsville to Buffalo.

williamsville looks a lot further out of buffalo, but i’ve never been there.
