hello
  i have been hearing about trader joe's for quite some time now and 
have just visited one in long island- for the first time...
  it is TRULY a great store and they do have a wealth of gluten- free 
items....
  there are only a couple in ny state and none upstate...
  i was wondering if other capital area celiacs and 'wheat and gluten 
free' eaters in the area might join me in contacting the company to ask 
them to consider a store in the albany area...there is NO doubt it 
would do well..not only for the gluten free community but for all people 
who want healthy foods for reasonable prices..i could not believe the 
amount of ORGANIC foods they had for great prices aside from the gluten 
free selections....organic foods have been a luxury for most people 
because the prices are so high..they should not be as they are really the 
only healthy foods...if we can buy organic at the same or better prices 
that what we pay for the foods we buy now..why would we not buy them? of 
course they are better for all of us - and those of us with digestive 
problems and other health concerns would benefit from eating 
organic..even the fruit was organic and at prices we would recognize from our 
regular supermarkets..or BETTER!
  i spoke to a person who works for them in the store i visited and was 
told they are very particular about where they open their stores...i 
was told that if they get enough requests for one in a certain area - it 
would certainly be considered...
  anyway here is the link to the website with the contact information 
for the east coast offices...if you want a trader joe's in our area, 
please call and talk to them...
  thanks!
