Giant parking lots without curbs separating lanes = bumper car derby!

Danger-Moose t1_jeag24p wrote on March 30, 2023 at 4:20 PM

The biggest problem there is the weird little "street" that is not a street. It's just another piece of the parking lot that is disconnected from the parking lot and is just another place for a car to have contact with a pedestrian.

remus989 t1_jebiwct wrote on March 30, 2023 at 8:27 PM

That whole parking lot is terribly laid out and feels dangerous every time I drive or walk through it.

There was a family dollar down the street that closed up and was replaced by that vet's office that was previously across the street in a much smaller location.

Also, for future reference, there ain’t no Trader Joe’s in Midlothian, bub. It’s in Stony Point within city bounds.

Seriously, if anything, you’d call it Bon Air.

I was going to do exactly that until Google maps said otherwise. Bon Air ends at Huguenot Rd, according to our Google overlords. Apparently it’s not even Stony Point, it’s “Huguenot” which I never considered it.

(Throws up hands) I just know it’s not Midlo, lol.

They’re not gonna put another grocery store in the same shopping center as Kroger; I’m sure they have a Grocery Exclusive provision in their lease.

I've heard talks of a new distribution center between Richmond and NoVA to accommodate an aggressive expansion schedule focused on the East Coast. Assuming any of that is true, I imagine more Richmond locations are an inevitability.

I feel the opposite - if there's a TJs close, maybe I won't feel like it's a special trip each time I go and have to buy $500 worth of snacks, because I'll be there again next week.

They accidentally did a “everything .50” sale at the end of February- it was wild in there and they were just throwing stuff in bags at the register and not even scanning. Next day there was a leadership looking person yelling it was a mistake and everything is still $1.25

HomeGoods is confirmed there but the grocer there is still a mystery. Someone posted here a week or so ago that the owner of Huang's Express told them it was TJs, but IMO Amazon Fresh makes more sense.

RVAPerson01 t1_jeeobc8 wrote on March 31, 2023 at 1:51 PM

Actually I heard Amazon Fresh from another tenant so who knows but the developer has a relationship with Amazon - they have the Whole Foods on Broad, so it made sense to me.. most tjmaxx/homegoods are either in the same space or not in the same area..maybe TJ at Willow Lawn would be great!

Your reminder that trader Joe's is overpriced and green washed TV dinner and snack foods. Not a grocery store.

nitsual912 t1_jebx8ce wrote on March 30, 2023 at 10:00 PM

Disagree. Their frozen meals are so much better than frozen meals by any other brands I’ve tried (Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice, Amys, Evol, etc, etc). And their snacks are delicious. Especially dried fruit and nuts. No where else offers TJs prices for that stuff, except maybe Lidl/Aldi and it’s also better.

Your TJ hate is and always has been unwarranted. If one can call "we never have the 1 basic necessity you are looking for" Aldi a grocery store, then TJs can most certainly be a grocery store.
