I’ve got some news: The other day, I saw something that caught my eye.

So, I stalked this storefront for a few days until the doors opened to the public.

And then I took a walk inside.

There were only a few other shoppers inside, with half a dozen or so registers and zero lines.

Wondering what Pronto is?

There’s soup galore!

And at first, I will admit I was a bit disappointed.

I was hoping for new and exclusive items I couldn’t find next door.

And let’s think ahead to picnic season for a moment.

This is basically a grocery store that is made for picnics.

And god knows I love a park hang/picnic on a gorgeous warm weather day.

Browsing the aisles of TJ’s Pronto with this in mind, I got pretty excited about the possibilities.
