Still lovin’ the new TJ’s location, never have a problem finding parking and getting in and out of the lot.

Sprouts is good, but quantity doesn’t always mean quality. I shopped at one years ago, left a lot to be desired. When it opens, it’ll be a hot for awhile before getting cast aside as if it were Buck McKeon’s gay son.

Right on Valencia Joe – My thoughts exactly. The parking spots also continue on the other side of OSH in front of Office Max, etc. It’s the worse parking design. Anyone who chooses these spots is also putting themselves into a very difficult departure scenario and increases their risk for a (hopefully minor) fenderbender.

I know that I may be deviating from the main topic, but I wish they would get rid of those parking spots directly in front of Petco and Trader Joe’s. it really slows car traffic either entering or exiting the shopping area.

Being from Plum Canyon, I love the TJ location.

Reliable source says one half to one third, as of about a month ago.

Will Sprouts only occupy one-third of the old Mervyn’s like it was mentioned before? Or, have they decided to take up the entire spot?

Much better location than Trader Joe’s, and parking at Mervyn’s is a plus. This will be really good for that shopping Center. I will always miss Mervyn’s, though. I remember when Mervyn’s went in and I bid a fond farewell to the Canyon Country Sears catalogue store, which was the primary source of clothes for our kids.

I am looking forward to the new Sprouts too. TJ’s has always been a pain in the neck to shop at, So Not Worth It.

This really looks like it’s going to hit the sweet spot. I love whole foods, I really do, but it’s impractical. Bristol farms has its strong suits, but its prices are ridiculous, across the board. They also don’t have the broad-based commitment to quality that Whole Foods has. Trader Joe’s is great, and I love it more every time. I love the new store, but I was very wrong about the new location. It sucks. Either way, Trader Joe’s is at best, a supplementary store. Sprouts looks great, and so does its location.
