Will Trader Joe’s Listen To Traverse City’s Call?

Trader Joe’s has always let it be known that they are always looking for new places to add their stores. Residents are encouraged to leave feedback on their website with suggestions on where new locations should open.

For as long as I can remember, the city of Traverse City has been begging Trader Joe’s to open a location in their city. When Trader Joe’s picks a location, they do it based on a variety of factors, including a high population density, proximity to high traffic areas, and other factors that lead them to think a location would thrive in certain areas.
