With Fresh Market a couple of minutes down the road it would have been a nice balance. Interesting how none of the owners have any experience in the grocery business? Bet they sell it once they get it open. Would love to have seen a Trader Joes move in to the space. With Fresh Market a couple of minutes down the road it would have been a nice balance.

The wait is discouraging though as we keep hearing about the opening dates and keep watching them go by. I moved here from DC and had a TJ's just a few blocks away - Man I'd "kill" for that again!

I wanted to give everyone an idea of where we are and when we will be open. Per usual the construction phase is taking longer than we expected but we are committed to getting everything in place before we re-open. It is our expectation that this will take another three weeks and we will do our best to hit this target. As far as the store goes I could not be more excited, our goal is to make this a community store and are working towards designing our store around the feedback we have received from the community. To that end we have increased the produce section, changed the wine section, added self serve meat cases, updated the coffee bar, added a sushi chef, salad bar, and hot bar and are working with as many local suppliers as we can to get fresh local products in the store. We are a locally owned and operated store that wants to utilize the tremendous resources we have in our community from farmers to suppliers and everyone in between. If anyone is interested in seeing the progress we have made or has questions or suggestions please feel free to stop by the store for a tour.

If I were the new funders, I'd have found a way to sell to TJ's, recover the old debt, and stand back and watch the crowds roll in. Frankly, what that site needs is a known name like Trader Joe's. If I, as a downtown resident, will seek out a strip-mall location deep in Cary just to get to a TJ's, then that hidden-away CCG location can do great with a big name. - L Yes, Trader Joe’s made a huge mistake by not going in that space.

Frankly, I think they made a huge mistake by not taking that space instead of the Cary location. It is going to be very difficult for a grocery store to succeed in that small space without it being a *destination* - i.e., offering what cannot be found elsewhere.
