In 2011, we reported that Trader Joe's was interested in Greensboro. The fact is, they were/are only interested in one site, a currently residential site adjacent to Friendly Shopping Center, which is currently home to both a Whole Foods Market and Harris Teeter. Today, the low price natural/organic/quirky retailer stated they are "no longer interested" in other sites in Greensboro. To the dismay of many, this continues the roller coaster that Trader Joe's has put Greensboro through.
Trader Joe's has opened stores in Wilmington, Asheville and nearby Winston-Salem in recent years, so there's no reason that they couldn't open a Greensboro location. We think this is just a bump in the road to Trader Joe's, and eventually they will come. More from the Triad Business Journal. In the meantime, Greensboro residents, keep driving to Winston-Salem and Chapel Hill for your Trader Joe's fix.
