Mary Guelker Wilson: "Either! We need one out here!"

Rachel Sarino: "Whole Foods will be my 1st choice but will take either one here! I would describe Whole Foods as the Dierbergs of Trader Joe's - a larger store with more options."

Katie Wann Wibbenmeyer: "I'd be thrilled for an arrival of either one, but a little more for a Whole Foods."

Brei Callaway: "I would be happy with either, but we NEED one!"

Cheryl Walker-Adams: "Trader Joe's is my fav."

Vicki Fuemmeler Nave: "I vote for Whole Foods."

Erin Fay Schatteman: "Either but prefer WF. The thing I love about WF is that there is not one product carried in the store that has artificial favors or colors in it. Here is a list of ingredients they don't allow in their products. I love not having to check the ingredients on everything there! They also offer the widest selection of organic produce."

Michelle Humphreys Thomason: "Whole Foods. Larger selection."

Carol Threadgill Graeser: "I would love either one Jordan. O'fallon needs more organic options in our area."

Carol Mason-Franklin: "Trader Joe's. It's the Aldi's of Whole Foods, and more reasonable."
