Dear Trader Joe's, I live in Fort Wayne, In. and drive to Indianapolis to shop at your store. There is nothing comparable in our area. We have a 2 year old Marsh store, the concept was built in the round. The store reminds me of Traders Joe's; long story short it is closing in Feb. and this would be a perfect spot for a Trader Joe's. Almost new unique building and close to the interstate. The address is 7301 Maplecrest Road, Fort Wayne IN. We would love to have you in Fort Wayne. Thanks Arleen Horine

Please come to the Potomac Town Center in Woodbridge, VA!! They are putting in a Wegman's - but we really need a TJ's!! We are all driving to Springfield and Centreville to shop at TJ's. You have great prices - and high quality food - that is desperately needed here!

Hello Trader Joes! I recently visited one of your locations in Boston. Is there any way possible to get you guys to come to Jonesboro, Arkansas? I believe your type of store would be a hit since there is not a grocery store like it around. It is by far the best grocery store I have ever been to. Thanks!

You know, per store, Trader Joes could probably do another 300k a year in sales to mobile shoppers if they would just put resealable, plastic "zip lock" type sealing mechanisms on all of their dried fruit, nut, soy, peanut butter pretzel bags. right now, I'd say maybe 50% of said products have them (or at least the items I buy)
Here's what happens to me when I buy say TJs Cashews or Cinnamon/Sugar Almonds: I eat a ton of them and then, because I don't have any rubber bands sitting around to seal the bag, I eat some more; next thing I know I've "killed" the whole bag because they are good and I didn't want to risk having them go stale. Next time I'm at Trader Joe's I remember eating the whole unresealable bag and thus only buy items that come in "resealable" bags to help offset further risk of gluttony (and also so I can parcel them out at different times and conveniently keep them from going stale).
Another thing with no zip lock type seals is that portability suffers greatly. I don't own any resealable plastic ware etc and I'd rather not go to Vons or Ralphs if I can help it and the Whole Foods is good, but a poor value proposition

I am from Pennslyvania but now living in Sarasota,Florida. They have pretty much every store under the sun here EXCEPT Trader Joes. Please,Please open one up here?! I know several people that have relocated here from all over the states that would love to continue shopping at Trader Joe's. I know a store like this would be a huge success in the Sarasota area! I miss you!

I was in Paris last month, and now I am in India... going to come back to the states in a couple of weeks. There are two brands of cookies that I fell in love with on this trip, and I am wondering if anyone can tell me whether TJ has them in stores? B/c if not, then I will try to pack as much as I can when I come home. I am talking about Tim Tam and Barilla's Passioni Itliane. Please let me know. Thanks! Diana

I hear thru the grapevine that we are getting a Trader Joe's up here in Prescott Valley, AZ. Is this true and when? Also I go down to your Glendale, AZ store and have purchased in the past, Lemon Sugar Cookies, The Queens Collection before, but they haven't had them since last summer. They looked on their order sheets and it is not available for them to order. Have they been discontinued?
Thanks for getting us a Trader Joe's finally!

I live in Hanford, in central california, and i went to Trader Joe's in Fresno, i was amazed, and i wanted to know if Trader Joe's would consider Hanford as an expansion for the store, Hanford has a very large trade area, the Hanford area is considered one of the fastest in the state, with many retail stores opening in Hanford(retail boom).

I just wanted to send a thank you and my customer support to Trader Joe's. At a time when eating healthy has become economically reserved to certain classes, TJ's has the business ethics to be as democratic as possible with their low affordable prices. This company represents to me a new model of business for the new millenium, one that is conscientious and community oriented without faking it. Their product and prices speak for themselves. I will support them relentlessly and hope to see them grow even bigger.
I truly appreciate their presence in a business world where image too often prevails. TJ's talks the talk and surely walks the walk with a humble aesthetic.
thank you from ALbq, NM !

I understand that you have discontinued the handful of almonds that you were selling in packages for convenience. How can I get a hold of these? I really liked them, as they were great on the go for somebody who barely has time to sit down for lunch or breakfast. Are there any left that I could purchase? Could I contact the company that packages them to purchase directly from them? Thanks!

Hello
I am from England, but my sister brought some trader joe's moisturising cream back with her - I was extremely impressed by the quality for the price. Ever thought about distributing in UK. If you ever do I would be interested.

I have three of my children living in
Texas and Oklahoma. They miss Trader
Joe's. Any chance you will open one
in Tulsa, Dallas, or Austin?

Boise, Idaho and the greater Ada County Area are VERY, VERY interested in having a Trader Joe's locate here. I have run a catering business in Boise for 20 years, and the last 5 or 6, have had many customers bring your products from other states and asked if I would be willing to use them. Last week I catered a fundraiser for an independant film, and the host had filled up their car w/ Trader Joe products and wine. They served your wine to 200 guests. Trader Joe's was a topic of conversation.
I am from San Carlos, Ca., where all my family shops at your newly opened store. I was informed that you considered the location because the residents of San Carlos lobbyed with a mail in campaign.
Boise is one of the fastest growing areas in the US.
We are in great need of your trendy stores and products.
What would we need to have you look at our area?
Thanks

Currently, we in Indianapolis have 2 Trader Joe's stores, but they are on the north side of town and I am on the south. Is there a plan in the future to bring a Trader Joe's to Greenwood?

i would like to see a trader Joes in Huber Heights,Ohio

I'm a big fan of Trader Joes since moving to Oregon from the Mid West. Since there isn't an email address on your web site to ask questions I'm asking mine here. If most of your produce is from Mexico, what are their organic guidelines if any and are they different from those in the States. It does make me a little nervous knowing that you have products coming from a country that is so seriously polluted.

They discontinued the opera cake...what's up with that? I was addicted to those. I got one at BJ's, it sucked. This is a travesty, bring back the opera cake!
Posted by: Jay | April 11, 2006 at 04:34 PM
I love TJ's...I must go there at least once a week. I stock up on my favorites but am sad you've taken away Southwest Turkey Burgers, Essentials Cereal and also pared down on all the bath products you used to sell -- sunscreens, Burt Bee's products, etc. Please bring them back...until then, I'll keep coming (maybe I'll get lucky and find them there one day!)
