The news that Trader Joe’s had filed papers with the Colorado Secretary of State’s office to start doing business in Colorado — specifically, at Boulder’s Twenty-Ninth Street project — has fans of the California-based, German-owned store salivating, extolling such Joe’s specialities as Jalapeno Blue Cornbread Mix and Old Fashioned Cinnamon Grahams .
But Trader Joe’s newbies might be disappointed by what they see once the store opens at Twenty-Ninth Street.
Says TJ:
I think there will be a whole lot of disappointed people when one does finally open. TJ is not as great as it is made out to be. And since Denver has the Sunflower markets, I think people really are going to wonder what all the fuss was about.Plus, they almost always build where there is parking and traffic blows.
