trader joe's at fresh pond?

heard from several people who work in the fresh pond mall that trader joe's will be moving into part of the space vacated by toys r us (petco will occupy the remainder). can anyone confirm that this is in fact the case (would love to have a tj's so close), and if so, an estimated opening date.

    well, i don't know about that. i don't own a car, but when i borrow my friend's and go to the tj's on mem drive, i then go to the wf on putnam. sometimes i go to wf first. either way, i see a lot of people making the same two stops. wf has nothing to fear from a tj's at fresh pond.

      I'm with you - the only sale WFM would lose out on for us is Total yogurt - it's just a bit cheaper at TJ's. Otherwise I don't consider one a substitute for the other at all. I'd be thrilled to have a TJ's at Fresh Pond, actually. I hope the rumors are true!

        I agree with you; that's just not the way _they_ see it...

        I can't imagine Whole Foods wouldn't have some pull with their landlord, and put a stop to iot...They consider TJ's the antichrist.... ;)
