New Tampa and Wesley Chapel are home to 80,000+ residents across neighborhoods like Tampa Palms, Hunters Green, Pebble Creek, and Arbor Greene — yet Tampa has only ONE Trader Joe’s, and it’s over 20 miles away for many of us.
That means longer drives, crowded stores, and fewer affordable, healthy grocery options close to home.
There are already two strong potential sites in Tampa Palms:
• City Plaza at Tampa Palms (16001 Tampa Palms Blvd W) – 12,362 SF with heavy daily traffic
• Market Square at Tampa Palms (6222 Commerce Palms Dr) – 21,597 SF retail space with ample parking
• Affordable groceries with high-quality, private-label item's
• Shorter grocery trips — no more driving 20+ miles
• Budget-friendly staples for families
• Healthy, organic, and specialty options
• Family-friendly shopping and convenience
• Unique seasonal items you can’t get anywhere else
• Less traffic and wasted gas from long trips
• Adds value and convenience to the local community
Our area has the population, income, traffic, and available space to support a Trader Joe’s — now we need to show clear community demand.
Sign this petition to tell Trader Joe’s: New Tampa & Wesley Chapel are ready!

Yes for the love of god please bring Trader Joe’s to Wesley Chapel. The Tampa location is not only a pain but the traffic is a nightmare.
Would love to have a Trader Joe’s in New Tampa! We are between the increasing growth of Wesley Chapel and the growing USF college community.
South Tampa store doesn’t have any parking and is too far for regular shopping. Miss having a Trader Joe’s near us since moving to Florida
YES, please!!!!! I would become a regular for sure. Now, I hardly ever go - not only is the Tampa location too far away for regular visits, but parking there is abysmal
Have been asking for this for years and would like to know from Trader Joe’s “why not?” Our area would definitely support it. Look at Aldi’s success! Please just do it!
I live in Dade city and would LOVE to not have to make the journey to Palm harbor or Tampa
Everyone I talk to in the Wesley Chapel Area wants a Trader Joe’s!!!!!! Please bring one to our area
