Trader Joe's in the Eastern half of the country

[Terrasanct]

My daughter is leaving New York tomorrow morning to go back home to Seattle. She'll be stopping to see me in Montana. I want her to pick up some things for me on the way here. I looked at TJ's website but it doesn't really tell me what store would be closest to her route and easiest to get on and off the freeway. Neither of us is familiar with the route.

Can anyone help me figure out which TJ's will be the best to stop at? I'm thinking Indiana, maybe, since she doesn't want to drive through Chicago and so will be going a bit further south.

She doesn't want to stop at the store in Union Square because she wants to get out of town before thinking about stopping somewhere.

Will she be going through Minneapolis?

A quick look at their website shows that MN would be the last chance before hitting Montana.

I don't think they're going that far north. Her friend wants to stop in Sturgis, SD. If they go to one of the Indy ones, anyone know which is quickest on and off?

If she is taking I-90 through Cleveland, the Westlake, OH Trader Joe's is less than a mile south of the interstate. She would take the Crocker Bassett exit and turn left (south) onto Crocker. Go past Detroit Road and she'll see Crocker Park. Turn right at the second light after Detroit Road and TJ's is right there. She can then get back on I-90 west and hit the Ohio turnpike (I-80) about 5 miles down the road.

Thanks. I guess her route will be determined by how the ice storm is going.
