Trader Joe's in Kingwood
Trader Joe's in Kingwood
MaileGirl : YES and one the reasons I like TJ is because they do have healthier products, but if you read the labels most of those products come from other countries, France, Italy, Greece, Canada, Belgium---countries who don't add all the bad crap in their foods that we do here in the US.
Cbear : Yes, but TJ's was voted one of the cheapest grocery stores in the nation a couple of years ago. And they practice healthy alternatives when preparing their meals, no preservatives, dyes, etc. as much as possible. So worth it! I've been emailing them for a good year to open up a store closer to me. I'm a transplant from California and TJ's is everywhere there.
MaileGirl : Really? For some reason I got the impression that they were on the high end in grocery store pricing. Anyway, Welcome to Texas!
DixieDee Cbear : I like a lot of their items. The cookies are mostly from Belgium and Germany. Some are from Italy so they have good ingredients in them (like butter instead of palm oil). As a baker I always prefer butter to any seed oil.
Weathergirl5 : I'm starting to get really excited for their arrival!!

Weathergirl5 : Another thought.....too bad that they don't offer online shopping.
Cbear : I am so excited. It has been back and forth on if they were opening or not. A few weeks ago I went to the one in Houston and the manager confirmed the KW one WAS going to open (I had gone to the same location a few months prior and was told, there was a good chance it would not open) so it was back and forth. When my friend snapped this picture I was so excited!
Weathergirl5 : Yes, I could tell that you were excited girl! LOL~!

Cbear : I mean even if you are not a Trader Joe's fan, at least it provides some competition to the area and will help keep the traffic down some of the other grocery stores. Kingwood is too big to really only have 2 main grocery stores--HEB and Kroger.
Cbear : But that is one of the way they keep their costs down. At least they do provide paper bags for your groceries unlike Aldi LOL
Cbear : Have you ever been to a Trader Joe's? I think you will like it. It is just neat to look at the selection of products and they get lots of neat imported stuff around the holidays.

Weathergirl5 : I'm very excited to go! I might wait about a month till after ours opens and let the crowds die down a bit.

Weathergirl5 : I like Aldi but dang...I feel so pressured at the check out as they are timed on how fast they scan and I feel like I need to hurry up and GIT! LOL~!

Weathergirl5 : I love the idea that we are getting a Sprouts and TJ's. I find Kroger prices too high. I like my little smallmart since it is just me.
Weathergirl5 : SO EXCITED!!!!! I saw a post on FB with this picture and was so happy! I told my husband that unless I see actual proof of a sign posted, I wouldn't believe it. Hope they open before the holidays. I want to get their danish cookies because they're sooooo good and only sold during that time.
that will be good. i hate going to the one in the woodlands. but this one will probably be a pain to get to since it is in kingwood. i wish they would put one near valley ranch
hknappsjr : I agree! VR has a lot of space for something like that. Even an Aldi would be nice but I'm sure Kroger would complain about it. « Back to Chat
