What's So Great About Trader Joe's?

Whenever questions about development or retail changes in the North Druid Hills-Briarcliff community are raised, people always go nuts about Trader Joe's. Why?

I've been meaning to bring this back up since North Druid Hills-Briarcliff Patch was covering the whole and .

Whether it's Decatur, North Druid Hills or Atlanta proper, people seem to go nuts over Trader Joe's grocery stores. I confess I've never purchased anything there myself, though I did step into the Midtown store out of curiosity while waiting to see a movie about a year ago. It just seemed like quirky grocery store to me. I've heard all the cool stuff they do for employees (surprisingly decent wages, benefits, et cetera). But does that matter to you guys?

And if a Trader Joe's showed up in North Druid Hills tomorrow, would you really abandon your Publix, your Kroger and whatever else is out there? If so, why?
