Everybody needs to get off the Trader Joe’s bandwagon here. They’re opening a store on Chicago Ave in Evanston. They’re not going to open stores that close to one another. Whole Foods is too expensive anyway. Whole Foods shouldn’t be shoehorned into a non-yuppie area.

Trader Joe’s is set to open in south Evanston in a week or so. They’re not going to put two that close together.

I understand that the positions the CEO takes on issues may affect how each of us may feel toward the stores, but I believe many of the employees and customers share a different perspective. Those employees and customers would greatly benefit from jobs and an additional store in the community. A thriving business in our neighborhood would be a huge benefit to an empty building.

Whole Foods? Trader Joes? Anything is better than an abandoned building!

How about ANYTHING–Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods going into the empty funeral home area on Broadway & Foster? Perfect location with parking. Can this area look like the rent we pay or should it stay broken down like it is? Really.

I received a request for verification about the GMO identification…please read below…the identification of GMO foods won’t happen until 2018!!!!

Can you provide any links regarding the GMO-produce that Wholefoods allegedly sells?

Whole Foods looked at the Carson Ribs lot as well but decided against it, I am not sure as to why. However it’s clear that Whole Foods is actively scouting for a location in the Andersonville area.

I’d rather see a Trader Joes go in there. If any name store moves in, parking and traffic are going to be problematic. These are good problems to have, though. We’re not that far gone from the Great Recession. I’d rather fret about businesses moving in than shutting down.

I don’t want the Whole Foods’ owner anywhere near Andersonville. He denies climate change and is against Obamacare. What a jerk. And look up the produce he provides that is generated by GMOs…. Whole Foods has seen its day. At least let’s try for a Trader Joe’s. They are honest, identify everything, and are fairly priced. Otherwise, let’s all pool our cash and buy the place….it’s affordable. Imagine the possibilities!

I would like Whole Foods or Trader’s Joe, or another non-chain organic food store in our area.
