There’s a lot of talk recently with Whole Foods opening its first location in Nashville with wanting a Trader Joe’s to come here. For those who have never been to a Trader Joe’s you will find a plethora of goodies not easily found at other groceries at very low prices. There frozen and prepared foods are outstanding and they have a wide selection of cooking condiments, pastas, breads and snacks. Each trip I make I stock up on their super-cheap super-good organic ketchup, organic peanut butter and Joe’s Os for my daughter.
I may be wrong, but wouldn’t the state need to change laws on selling wine and beer?
If you are referring to the way Trader Joe’s sells wine inside their stores, then possibly they could setup the store in two section, each with their own entrance. That would allow the sell of wine at the grocery without it actually being “inside” the grocery store. As far as beer sales, that won’t matter. Beer sales in grocery stores is legal in Tennessee.
Ideally, Tennessee could get out of the backwoods and change some laws.
Until then, I will keep making those monthly trips.
