    I've visited a Trader Joe's in Nashville a couple of times. I honestly wasn't impressed.

    There were a few things I thought were interesting, like peanut butter filled pretzels,
    but I won't make the effort to visit another. I prefer local flavor. Trader Joe's is a
    typical chain. Chains are over priced and attract the pop culture.

    I didn't realize PP was a hipster.

    TJ isn't really a hipster hangout. Actually, I think all of them I know about are in pretty affluent and upscale areas, not around hipster hangouts.

    That was the point of catch's statement. PP said it was overrated, like a hipster would say.

    I agree. In Charlotte TJs wasn't hipster at all. It was a pretty affluent/yuppie store in one of the nicest suburban areas in the city.

    I think catch22 was referring to the fact that PP said he preferred shopping at a local grocer over a chain as being hipster.

    The 8th & Colorado location here in Denver can be but the one in Capitol Hill set to open soon since it is surrounded by the hipster village apartments. The location in Greenwood Village is a pretty broad mix of people from hipster to folks older than we are.
