The parking lot at the TJ's here is always fine. But it's the least crowded TJ's I've ever been in. I'm not sure that they really got their target market when they opened here.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

I suspect designing inadequate parking lots is part of TJ corporate strategy to save money on real estate.
I've read something somewhere (how conclusive is that?) that basically this is the case.

Our TJs in our neighborhood is spacious with a decent-sized lot and still they had to institute a one-way rule with cones for the lot. I often park on the street and walk.
We were at UCLA med center yesterday and I SWEAR the lot there is awful. Plus there is the final indignity that you have to pay a small fortune to park. Fills me with bitterness.

Isn't their target demographic supposed to be one that eschews automobiles anyway?

So the imaging center I went to was super fancy. It was like a Burke Williams but with boob smooshing. They had private dressing rooms with swanky robes, lockers with the key on a wrist band. They had the lemon and cucumber spa water. AND emory boards in the private waiting area. And Saturday hours which is the best. They know their audience.

I doubt it. The first one that is opened is pretty much on the road that feeds into the oldest freeway in the country, about 4 blocks before the freeway starts.

It depends on where you are, I think. In NYC, sure. In LA, not so much.

Punishingly Intricate
The TJ's I go to really has an adequate amount of space but is full of TERRIBLE drivers. But it was like that before the TJ's was there.

TJ's in NYC solves that problem by simply not having parking lots.
Same in downtown Chicago.
