We've waited a long time for Trader Joe's to open a store in Fort Wayne. Some of us were more anxious than others. My daughter-in-law, for example, who learned to love Trader Joe's in Phoenix, made regular trips to the TJ's in Indy until we got one of our own. Today a friend and I decided to see what all the fuss is about. Our first impression when we walked in the door was "Oh, it's kind of small." and I guess it is compared to the two super Kroger's in town, But the really nice thing is it's full of groceries. You can't buy clothes there or Christmas wrapping paper. It's just a place to buy food (what a concept, right?) and it has plenty of space for interesting goodies. My friend found little boxes of assorted syrups that he bought for gifts. He also looked longingly at some delicious looking cookies but he exerted his self control and passed on those. I bought celery and tomatoes and something called olive stuffed chicken nuggets. I haven't tried them yet but they sound delicious. I doubt that I will ever be as big a fan of this store as my daughter-in-law but I am intrigued enough to go back. The fact that it's located right beside De Brand's doesn't hurt, If you get weary shopping you can always slip in there for a hot chocolate. Ho, ho, ho!!!
