Remember when all you used to be able to buy at TJ's was booze, cashews, and like olive oil? It all still has a degree of funk to it. I eat it all the time. So don't get me wrong. But some of the packaging is still weird to me ... like somehow it fell off a truck somewhere. I know it didn't but how times have changed. There's a produce section and stuff! Wow that is devious!

The perception is that the store is always busy so it makes it more desireable to visit. This is evidenced by the line always outside the Masonic store. How's that for business strategery?

Personally I would like to see a Target store so I don't have to trek all the way to Daly City to load up on my household goods.

Haight and Stanyan is going to be developed, if memory serves me correctly, so that is out. Plus, imagine the GGP riff-raff heading in there for the free goodies they hand out. Fry's? No. What they should really do is turn it into an indoor skate park with half pipes, bowls, etc. chrisr,

Moving is expensive. Instead they should just open another store to service an area that's having to drive to this location. Maybe the old Bell/Cala on Haight and Stanyan? Then put a Fry's in at Mervyn's. ;) Nope. Moving is expensive. Instead they should just open another store to service an area that’s having to drive to this location.
