For the first year I knew it was a chain because of their
Fearless Flyer ad magazines but I didn't know which store
was the original. When I went to the So Pas one because
it was original it didn't seem any better to me.

That plus being in So Pas and the city's lawsuit to keep
the freeway from going through I didn't like spending a
cent in the city so I avoided retail there. Except the
popcorn at the Rialto Theatre ...

Ah the old Fearless Flyer ad magazines. I still see them
for pick up at the stores near me. I loved the stories
of where they found various items that would appear in the
stores once and then never be there again.

The most recent item I've liked at TJ - Greek style yogurt.
More dense than other styles of yogurt. Very rich.
