Let's take bets on long it will take someone to complain about TJ's once it opens:

...not a butcher there...lines too long...terrible parking...don't take coupons....don't carry name brands...too expensive....employees look like hippies...???

teatime: ain't that the truth and then ask why can't we have nice shops and restaurants in KW!!

I'll definitely go to it. So close to me. I contacted HEB once and asked why can't kingwood HEB sell grilled salmon outside like the woodlands one does. I was told because demographics are different. Like we don't have money to spend if there was a cheesecake factory in valley ranch?? I think Kingwood residents would spend money if we had other restaurants and stores here. I plan to support this new store as well as Sprouts even if it costs me more.

LuluBell66 :
Agree. Many years ago the regional (?) manager for Macy's told me our local store couldn't (wouldn't ) stock items like The Woodlands because of so-called demographics.
In my opinion, Kingwood can support more. And it's not just Kingwood, new stores would certainly serve our surrounding areas. I end up ordering more online because we have zilch options here. And don't always want to drive to the Woodlands or across town. I am looking forward to Trader Joe's. But I've read some negative things about their packaged foods. Won't be buying those anyway, haha.

Spork : He was the best looking guy on campus by far. I don't know how I managed to snag him. He was 6'4" and a premed student with a ponytail. I moved in with him 6 days after I met him.
We got married in his parents'garden, I had flowers in my hair and he wore a white linen Mexican Guayabera Shirt and huarache sandals.
We left that same day on a honeymoon which consisted of 2 months of backpacking in Europe. It was my first time to fly on a plane. Seems like yesterday. ?
