Per Square Foot

Trader Joe's opened in Manhattan in March 2006. It is located on 14th Street between 3rd Avenue and Irving Place. The store is part of an NYU dorm - that formerly was the Palladium club back in the 80s.

It is also busy. Very busy. Extremely busy. This has to be the busiest store per square foot in the chain, maybe in the world.

Take last Saturday - I got there at 905AM (5 minutes after it opened). I still waited on line for 20 minutes. I learn a lot on line at TJ's. You will also learn as I contribute to the Disciples of Joe. Or maybe just get hungry. Or frustrated like me when I wait on line to buy eggs.

But I did get my TJ Italian Roast Coffee.
