We, the undersigned, urge Trader Joe's to open a location in Woodbridge, Virginia, a thriving community just over 20 miles south of Washington, D.C. and located in Prince William County, one of the most affluent jurisdictions in the U.S. and an area of continued economic growth. We wish to access a Trader Joe's without getting stuck in traffic on I-95, allowing us to patron the store more frequently and share our love of Trader Joe's with friends and neighbors.
A public-private investment of more than $1 billion in "New Woodbridge" is resulting in smart-growth developments, widening of Route 1 and the addition of bike and pedestrian trails. Now, we need the level of retail to keep pace with these enhancements. Trader Joe's would benefit from the increased disposable income and density here, while Woodbridge will benefit from the increased economic activity. Woodbridge District Supervisor Frank J. Principi has volunteered to meet with store officials, answering their questions, providing data and introducing them to developers, economic experts and others who can assist in securing an opportune location in Woodbridge. Traveling at his own expense, he will personally deliver the petition to Trader Joe's headquarters in Monrovia, Ca. For more information, visit newwb.org/TJtoPW.

I am honestly stunned by how many of you have joined this effort since day one. If everyone who sees this could tell just one neighbor about what we are doing, we might actually reach that one thousand mark before the week is out.

Just moved from DC to Woodbridge, and it's been hard! Life would be complete with a trader joes! We need to make Woodbridge area a lot more appealing to young professionals and trader joes would definitely be one of those things!
I really like Trader Joe's. I have been shopping @ TJ for 15 + years. Great products. I find myself not going to TJ as much due to the fact I have to travel to Springfield and with the traffic in our area, it is a nightmare so I opt not to go to TJ.
We would love to have a trader joes in Woodbridge VA!!! I'm only able to go to the location in Springfield three times a year due to the high volume of traffic. Living on the USMC base I know a lot of families would love to be able to go 10 mins up 95 and find a Trader joes!
I want to keep my dollars in Prince William County. Let's bring Trader Joe's to Woodbridge. There are plenty of residents who have the spending power to support Trader Joe's and other up-scale retail in our county. I'm ready to shop....
A Trader Joe's would thrive in Woodbridge, an area starved for healthier grocer options. Our local grocers carry few organic products for equated residents who are interested in healthier and innovative food options. Please come to Woodbridge!
I like shopping at Trade Joe's and would love to have a closer store near Woodbridge, VA.
I drive to Springfield to shop at Trader Joe’s. Would like to shop in Woodbridge where I live. Love Traders Joe

I will patronize the Trader Joe's Woodbridge location at least 3 to 4 times per week @$50-$100 per visit. I eat mostly vegetarian and some seafoood and this store is very inexpensive versus Whole Foods. I am speaking this location into existence. Thanks for listening!
