I received an email in response to my previous post about a new Trader Joe’s coming to Mentor from an unnamed employee at the Eaton location.

He said that the chain does not have any plans on opening a store in Mentor, yet.  They do not have plans to open another Trader Joe’s in the Cleveland area for at least two years.  And the next one, when it comes, will be in the Akron/Fairlawn area.  Mentor would be sometime down the road. 

Well that sucks.  I guess I could start a petition to have them open on earlier, but I’m pretty lazy.

What’s with the Picture?
The only person named Joe I had ever known was a roommate I had in college (I didn’t pick him) his name was Joe.  He played the bagpipes.  No seriously.  It lasted about two weeks, before I traded him.

    i actually just asked someone last week at the eaton TJ’s if they were coming and I told them I read the rumor here. I wonder if it was the same person who went home and checked you out and set you straight.

    Bummer :(

    Yeah, I’m completly disappointed. I really think that area could sustain one of those stores.
