What recession? Of all places, the little village that could is getting a little more useful and livable. Trader Joe's at Weyburn and Glendon already had its grand opening last month, but wait, the kids were preoccupied with finals/undie run/winter break meaning no matter how much you love the joe, it's just wasn't not good timing. Solutions? Ahem. Have another grand opening, reports the Daily Bruin. Next door It’s a Grind Coffee House should open mid January and New Jersey based sandwich shop Jersey Mike’s is expected to open tomorrow.




Really poor stock, though. No vegetables ever. The two times I went there they were out of everything I wanted.
That is the downside. I like to combine TJ and a Farmer's Market to get the best options. Here in Sherman Oaks, we have Farm Boy next to TJ. It's not organic, but damn, they have great deals on all sorts of berries!
I talked to some Joe's associates, after visiting the Culver City store, and discovered that there'd been an ordering SNAFU just before New Year's Eve. They had NO leafy vegetables, almost no bread, and very little fruit. All the stuff that needs to come in on a daily basis.
They promised to have the situation rectified by next weekend.
I wish they'd open a TJ's downtown.
