trader joes type stores in middlesex county?

[rabs]

hi guys...i recently moved out here (north brunswick) from new york...just wondering if there is a trader joes type place somewhere near by..i know there is one out in westfield but thats really far...any similar type of stores that you guys know of?

Westfield is proably the closest. What I do, is try to budget some time when I'm driving down the Parkway to make a special visit to TJ's. Not quite sure why they don't open one around these parts already!

Westfield is the closest, but I heard a rumor that there will be one opening on Rt. 1 in Princeton soon. Also heard that Wild Oats (basically across the street from Whole Earth) in Princeton is being bought out by WHole Foods and wil be closing.

There's a Whole Foods on Route 1 near Princeton. Sure, it's pricier than TJ's, but it'll do in a pinch.

I believe that is the closest store to you. There arent many TJs in NJ.

yeah that's what i found..i was wondering if there were any other stores like tj around here - like any good natural/health food stores.

Hey! That's a whole different question!

I'd like to suggest Whole Earth Center on Nassau Avenue in Princeton. It has a vast selection of health food items, bulk grains and spices, and a better selection of local, organic produce than I've seen in any other independent health food store.

It's still a bit far from North Brunswick, but at least it's a straight shot down Route 27.

yeah thats what i was trying to ask! sorry about the confusion! whole earth center sounds great..i'll check it out...

Wegman's is a great supermarket in Woodbridge, off of Rt. 9. They have lots of "Trader Joe's type" items.
