Another north Texas Trader Joe's opening, this time in Plano, at Preston Towne Crossing. Please try not to wet yourself.

Suffice it to say, no matter how much you love Two-Buck Chuck and Cookie Butter, one Trader Joe's location begets another (and another and another), all of which are pretty much the same. If you missed it, here's extensive coverage from the Fort Worth opening in June to get you psyched for their new joint on the other side of DFW.

Survival Tips for Today's Trader Joe's Grand Opening

DFW's ~~First~~ Second Trader Joe's Location Opens in ~~Fort Worth~~ Plano. No Crying, OK?

Dispatch from the Trader Joe's Opening in ~~Fort Worth~~ Plano

For those living in Dallas who are wondering when the taunts about a location on Lower Greenville might materialize (rumored first for September / "the fall," and then first quarter 2013), we spoke today with Alison in Public Relations who said, "We do not have a date planned for that opening yet." So, until then, get ready for a hike to either Cowtown or the ~~'burbs~~ Plano.
