Trader Joe’s

Was so pleased on my trip and my grocery bill was $ 30 less compared to what I usually pay at the grocery store. I am still finding new favorite products but I can rave about the spinach artichoke dip, salsas, and unique frozen meals. I actually look forward to shopping again!

Convenient, friendly, great location!

It’s great to have another Trader Joe’s in the area. I went on Saturday, and surprisingly it was not crazy busy like the Plano location typically is. Everything was well stocked, and it was easy to move around the store. Of course the customer service is friendly.

You can’t go wrong with TraderJoes IMO! Ok, so this place is not Whole Foods or Central market? You should be glad ! Who wants those prices? Soo, it’s not Wal-mart…You should be glad ! Who wants that quality? This is somewhere in the middle, but only price wise. It’s in its own little category .
I used to go to the one at Preston/​Park, but I’m so glad they built one here ! This area needed some pop!
So, if you want to find products you can’t find elsewhere, novelty foods like cookie butter or mochi, this is your spot !
Please note that you will not find your typical name brands here. 80% of their supply is under the Trader Joes brand. And it’s a great brand if I may add. Products include gourmet foods, organic foods, vegetarian foods, unusual frozen foods, imported foods, domestic and imported wine and beer.
From what I’ve researched, the company started back in the day to fill the need for items people would get on vacations domestically or internationally and to provide a place to get some of those items in their own cities.
And this is true. I’ve tried many cultural dishes from their frozen department, which is super cool .
My favorite items are the mini heirloom tomatoes, packaged oatmeal, steel oats, chocolate mochi ice cream, Granny’s Apple Granola cereal, Cowboy bark, frozen orange chicken, fried rice, any of their yogurts, basil, Winter Wassail drink (fall/​winter), and many more!
Check it out for yourself !

Friendly staff, ample parking, seems to be same pricing as other Trader Joe’s stores.
My only complaint was the only reason why I went to the store on this occasion was to get a Danish type pastry that I had previously bought on a couple occasions at the Walnut Hill location and, unfortunately, they didn’t have it at this new location.
For those who may not know exactly where it is, it is on Preston Road south of beltline at Alexis. It’s in the same shopping center as Hobby Lobby.
Parking does seem a lot better here than at the Walnut Hill location.

When Traders Joe first opened in Plano I was disappointed. I was expecting a sort of Central Market, I guess… Then I tried other times and got hooked! This particular store is new, my review is for the company as a whole.
I have tried many products and was just let down by some chips and snacks that look like cheetos of some sort. silly me… if the original is not good, the «generic» woukd be worst. And it is, skip it! On the other hand, everything else I tried was great and my favorites are: the pretzel with peanut butter, toffee, crunchy almond butter, mochi ice cream, macarons, cheeses, prosciutto, smoked salmon, the triple ginger cookies, cheap wine (I liked the nouveau for winter), pizza crust, brisket… OMG I really need to change my diet! LOL
I am not a big fan of the produce… seems to me it’s not very fresh for some reason and not much variety. Am I wrong? Anyway… what I also love about the stores is their people! Where did they find such nice crowd to work there? They are very kind and helpful, it is a pleasure to visit the store and have so many great folks around. Excellent job! Oh and the stores are super clean and organized, big points there too!

I LOVE Trader Joes! Years ago I had Californian friends who raved about TJs. I almost got tired of the praises they sang. Then, TJs started showing up in North Texas. This one is laid out really well. It doesn’t seem as cramped as some of the other stores feel, and they have a great selection of products. I’ll frequent this place over and over again!

I came here on a rainy Friday morning at 8AM, I had some time to kill and wanted to check out the new Trader Joe’s. Boy am I happy I did! This Trader Joe’s like the rest is beautifully set up, with lush fruit tasty treats, and all kinds of random cool food. Most everything is their own brand. But what gets me are the prices, the fruit here is so fresh and perfectly set up it is the kind of grocery store I dream to get my fruit from (it’s also REASONABLY priced) not over priced like other all natural stores. I ended up walking through the whole store and leaving with an assortment of things. From mushrooms, to pumpkins, to ginger and delicious turkey patties. I cannot wait for my future trips here,
The ONLY reason I did not give it 5 stars was the employee who checked me out was incredibly annoyed I bothered her. I had decided I didn’t want an item in my cart and asked her if she could take it off. She didn’t say anything rolled her eyes and rang this loud bell, and that bell was loud for an 8AM grocery trip. Other than that this store was perfect! So excited it’s here in the area and cannot wait to be back.

Just like any other Trader Joe’s that I have been to; it is incredible. The service is amazing, the products are delicious and fresh, it is amazingly cheap and they seriously just know how to put together a grocery store.
I only hope they keep opening more and more in Dallas. If anybody has not tried this store, you need to get out there and go now!
My only complaint is that they don’t have JIF peanut butter (sorry, but that is the best, end of story).

Always great shopping here. Great food as well employees who make shopping so easy. Always love the samples.

The usual, outstanding selection of food; friendly service; and respectful pricing can be found in this Trader Joe’s. The location; however, is what made me whip my car across three lanes to verify that indeed a Trader Joe’s had moved to my neighborhood. It’s technically Preston and Beltline but definitely closer to Preston and Alexis, in front of Hobby Lobby. The inside layout is just like the Walnut Hill location but the parking outside is WAY better because there is more space and more «good» spots than either the Plano or Walnut locations.
I enjoyed my visit and learned a little tip for you! I know the Plano location rarely gets Kringle from O&H bakery in Racine, WI, but they get them and they sell them for ¹⁄₃ the price you’d pay online from the bakery itself (same price you’d pay if you walked in that bakery though). I asked if this TJ’s would carry Kringle from time to time. They will. More importantly, I learned that I could call ahead and find out if they have it on any given week. If they do, they can hold one for me (I’ve never seen more than 8 on the shelf). If they don’t, they will order it for me! Trader Joe’s will order their food special for moi?! I heart feeling like my favorite grocery store works for me.
Needless to say, I’m delighted TJ’s has moved to my neighborhood! If you’re looking for honest (simple ingredients), organic, delicious food without the snobby price tag, shop Trader Joe’s.

Trade Joe’s will always be 5 stars all the way around… i just moved to the area from Frisco and i was missing my higher quality grocery shopping. Yes I know that Whole Foods is nearby but they are expensive, let’s be real. TJ is quick, inexpensive, convenient, great quality food and the staff and cashiers are friendly. That’s good enough for me…
