I loved the Trader Joe's in Royal Oak. I loved visiting the Trader Joe's south of Evanston in Chicago Illinois. A town can't apply for a Trader Joe's for if one could, Grand Rapids would have one by now. I am wondering what would happen in Roosevelt Park offered free rent and no taxes and a development loan with no interest to Trader Joe's to located in town. Well, street traffic would surge as people drove one hundred miles to stock up. One friend tells me of an artist living a hour south of St. Louis in a town named St. Genevieve. This artist drives into St. Louis to visit galleries, visit museums and buy a month worth of goods from Trader Joe's. Pull out a marketing study and you will see she is no exception, no rare case. We could really use an upscale option for our food, especially when our farmers markets are running out of fresh produce and are gearing down. I once worked across street from a Trader Joe's in Sherman Oaks California and shopped for splendid lunches every day, as did many working in the building. In a perfect world, we would run up a Facebook page and gather a team and TJ's would come. Is this a perfect world?
