For all of us who spent time in california or anywhere that has Trader Loe's, this is big news.

"Specialty grocery retailer Trader Joe's plans to open a store in Green Hills at 3903 Hillsboro Pike by the end of the year.

The 14,000-square-foot store will take up part of the old Wild Oats building, a highly-sought-after retail space because of its visibility and location.

The store scheduled to open before Thanksgiving, says Alison Mochizuki, the company's national director of publicity.

The company, which started in Southern California in 1958, has more than 250 stores in 22 states. Trader Joe's are known for their selections of gourmet and natural foods, personal home and hygiene products, wine and private label lines. "
