Ginny,
Shortly after The WF opened in Wayne, PA on the main line TJ's opened in
Wayne, too, but on the other side near Rt. 202.
I'm hoping what you think is true. One of these days WF will open in
Plymouth Meeting (they've been building it for two and half years). Maybe
TJ's will get on the bandwagon and build one near me. I made the mistake of
going to the Wayne TJ's after work last night, and it took an hour and a
half to get home cause of the traffic. :-(
