Trader Joe's is considering buying up some of the 40 Save-Rites being closed in Atlanta!

There is one a quarter mile from my house... :)

Ikea and Trader Joe's. All you need now is an H&M, and Atlanta will almost be a civilized place to live ;)

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a Trader Joe's?

Trader Joe's is a semi-fancy grocery store. Imagine Whole Foods with a sense of humor and less insane prices.

"We're very interested in that market, and we'd love to be there," said Trader Joe's spokeswoman Audrey Dumper.

There is a save-rite very close to my house which is the bane of my existence. OK, maybe just a mild irritant. Anyway....S-R is gross. Trader Joe's owns. I hope they do buy that location.

They are closing all their Winn Dixie and Save Rites in Atlanta, so it won't be a bane much longer.

right, the question is, will it be replaced by something nicer, or will it be a festering hole of decaying empty retail space.

and a AJC link? aren't they all pay now?

AJC just requires registration. use:

Two buck chuck. Di will be in love.

Two buck chuck is $3.29 here. It's still hard to complain.
