I spoke with Aldi's regional/state rep a few months back and they plan to open a significant amount of stores in North Florida. Exact number escapes me now, but it was substantial, like in the 15-25 range.

They should open one in Macclenny.

only had one experience with an aldi's and that was in chicago when I had rented a zip car for an unexpected airport run. on the way back was passing by an aldi's and decided to take advantage of the extra time on my rental and stop for some basic groceries. rather unmemorable except for the surprisingly small inventory/floor space as well as the fact that it was cash only.

Can't wait to hear about more Trader Joe's opening around town. It takes me about an hour to get to the beach, so this one is not very convenient for me. I did go visit and it was packed out. Many people are very loyal to Trader Joe's brands like the cookie butter In fact, it is traded on eBay to people who don't have Trader Joe's near them for far more than you can buy it for at the store.

I am not one for crowds. I finally went to Trader Joe's this past Tuesday night. Not overly crowded but still very busy. They had a ton of registers open and everybody was really helpful. It won't replace my stops at Publix. But for some niche items (and cheap wine) it is great.

As for the cookie butter, I don't get the appeal. I saw Cookies and Cream butter and had a hard time imagining an adult eating it.

Just saw on Daily Record that it looks like a Trader Joe's will be opening in Mandarin next to Miller's Ale house in the space vacated by World Market when they moved across the street.  Mandarin will now have Native Sun, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Earth Fare and Trader Joe's within a 3-4 mile stretch on San Jose.
