Thanks to my sister, I have three Trader Joe's reusable grocery bags that would just love to be used at an actual Trader Joe's. And now, at last, Florida has a Trader Joe's store!
But it's in Naples. Granted, we really enjoyed our visit to that part of the state back in Novemeber, but I'm not one of the "Trader Joe's tourists" who are travelling hundreds of miles to the store. There's a store opening soon in Sarasota, but that's still too far away.
Nonetheless, I have hope. Now that the Florida border has been breached, can Orlando be far behind?
I note that the Naples store went in where a Borders bookstore went out. We're getting a Michael's at our former Borders. Not that Michael's is a bad idea, but there's already one nearby, and wouldn't it be fantastic to be able to walk to a Trader Joe's? Oh well, I'll be happy enough for one within a 15-minute drive and not on the far side of town.
