A few things, random order:
-- Different demographics in Hadley, MA that fit the TJ consumer more so
-- Store is slightly off of an interstate
-- For warehousing and distribution reasons, TJ's largely clusters their stores. The New England region is a big cluster so adding a select few in areas that don't fit the usual population requirements but, exhibit other supportive characteristics is a low-risk, low cost bet for them.
