I get the outcry. I know that Amarillo would really welcome having Whole Foods here. We would go ecstatic for an H-E-B. These are stores we have hollered for years that we really need.

Both stores would do well. They would always be busy. It would be great to have a new place that we would love to get our groceries from. I mean a change like that would be nice. I have also heard people say how great Trader Joe's is also.

I will admit I have never been to one so I can't really say how it would do in Amarillo. I do know that we are missing the mark on one store that would be great for our area. While my daughter was living in Dallas and making plans for her return to the area I found a store that I have fallen in love with.

Since my yearly trips to the area to help her move from one apartment to another, there was always one store that we always put on the list. It was the one store that had everything that we needed. They also had a lot of stuff that I didn't know we needed but we got it anyway.

The store I am talking about is HomeGoods. How do we not already have one here in Amarillo? I mean they have everything we need for a move. They have everything that her new apartment of course needed. We need new curtains, yep they have them. Do we need some cool kitchen gadgets? They have them all.

We went there when her living room needed a new lamp. We got my granddaughter's stuffed animal tower there too.

How does Amarillo not have one? What can we do to remedy this situation? I am going to start to find an answer. Amarillo and HomeGoods is a match made in heaven.
