I did go back just a couple of days later and 2 of the 3 things I wanted were re-stocked but the whole freezer case still looked pretty sold down, and this was early in the evening.
I haven't been to Trader Joe's since the pandemic hit. Does anyone know if the line to get in is still wrapped around the building? Thanks.
Also, for a while TJ's didn't want you to bring in your own bag.
But on my last visit, they said shoppers are free to do that once again.
Time for another Trader Joe's
When are we going to get another Trader Joe’s further north?

As with all retailers, it's not just a matter of if a new store will generate good business.
They are constantly making decisions about which locations to prioritize. And if you've been anywhere near a TJ's in California, you'll know they are slammed every hour of every day. There were 2 of them within a few minutes of my suburban house and they were always crazy busy; much more so than the one here. When a third was opened even closer, it was equally busy and the others remained the same.
They can only add so many stores at any given time and I'm sure they just have a lot of higher priorities.
Have you heard any rumblings about a new TJ in the metro? I’m also curious about how the one in NH has been performing? If it is like many other new to market retailers it should be a high performance store that would surely capture the attention of executives.
No.
Nor in Tulsa, which actually opened before in OKC.
I don't think we'll see another TJ's in the state for a long time. Just like there is no real movement on adding another Whole Foods in the metro (at least as far as I can tell in talking to developers and brokers).
I noticed that the food sample station at the back of the store has been done away with. Not sure if that was from COVID-19 or all of the listeria recalls.
My guess about the bags is that not all people keep a clean house. Ie someone emptied their bags and left them on the floor. Floor covered in dog hair and who knows what else. Now bags taken back to store and they dont want someones pet hair and .... on their convaier and register area or want to touch it . Ops fluffy had an accident on the bag. Yahh some people are gross and dont mind things like that. Cashiers dont want to touch other peoples gross stuff.
I was told the OKC Trader Joe's did $40 million in revenue last year.
As good as it is doing, I'm surprised they haven't opened up a couple more locations.
I was in there around 5PM last Friday, which is about as busy as it gets. But they had all checkout lanes open and I breezed right through there. They do such a great job.
how does 40M rank among their stores?
I'd love a location southside/moore/or Norman. Too far for me to go very often.
We never get out of TJ's without spending at least $60-80 and that's just stopping in for a handful of products we like and impulse purchases.
I wish they would build one in far NW OKC or far West Edmond.
Interesting. That's roughly $136,000 a day. Not exactly chump change.
