It seems it is finally happening! Trader Joe’s will be opening a location by Thanksgiving this year at the old Wild Oats location in Green Hills!
From tennessean.com:
Trader Joe’s, a grocery chain some Nashvillians have long clamored for, is set to open a Green Hills location by Thanksgiving of this year.
The store will be at 3909 Hillsboro Pike and measure 14,000 square feet, said spokeswoman Alison Mochizuke. That’s in line with the California-based company’s average store size of approximately 10,000- to 15,000-square feet.
The address is the former Wild Oats location.
Maybe they can get the wine issue straight by that time. I’m thinking this might hurt Whole Foods a little bit, they already have issues with my reusable TJ cooler bags.
A day earlier and I would not have believed it.

Sweet! I can’t wait! I do my grocery shopping at the Green Hills Whole Foods every time I’m in town…now I can shop around! All Memphis has is a crappy Wild Oats that’s half the size of ya’ll’s Whole Foods.
