Trader Joe's announced Friday that it is opening a store in the Thruway Shopping Center off Stratford Road in the space that was occupied by Borders. The announcement comes amid speculation that a Trader Joe's may anchor a new suburban development in Greensboro - speculation surrounded by controversy as local landowners threatened legal action to prevent the development. The news that Trader Joe's is coming to Winston is welcomed by many; bringing a Trader Joe's to Winston-Salem has been the subject of Facebook campaigns, YouTube videos, and a letter from the author of this blog submitted via their website.
