I have been hearing from so many of you about the hours spent driving to Lake Grove just to stock your pantries. Post this link to your local community Facebook groups so the regional office sees the scope of our demand. Email the corporate contact page today and tell them why Riverhead needs a location.

I need to get my coconut strips, sunflower seeds and veggies closer to home! Lake Grove store is 45 mins from me. I would literally be a constant customer of a trader joes anywhere further east, preferably Riverhead town.

We need you out east. Riverhead is a shopping hub with new locations being developed. I am sure you would do well.
Would love to have Trader Joe's in Riverhead.
Your store is terrific. We need it on the North Fork. So few choices! Plenty of full time residents that would love a chance to shop at TJs
Eastern long island needs a TJs. Riverhead would be a perfect location.
Please consider our request for a Trader Joes
I go to TJ"s in Danbury Ct , a riverhead store would be amazing. Dont care for the one in smith town too small
Rverhead would be a perfect location for Trader Joe's!!

I do the bulk of my shopping at trader joes in lake grove and am nervous about moving because of how far I away I will be. Please consider opening a Riverhead location the area is booming and other parts of Long Island have so many easily accessible locations. Put one in riverhead you won't be sorry.
Pl ase!
U would not be disappointed if I open a trader Joes in Riverhead. It would be a HUGE ASSETT to the east end. A trip to Lake grove is to an all day event with coolers in tow. And the traffic. Ugh !! Please please open in central located ( Riverhead) for north & south fork residents. Soon please
Please open a trader joes in riverhead!
Would love if Trader Joe's opened a store on or near the east end of LI. I would be able to shop there on a weekly basis instead of once in a while. Thanks, hope this helps! :-)

Understanding the demographics of Riverhead, it is the main shopping hub of hsmptins, north Fork as well as Wading River and Shoreham
Tired of driving so long to get to a TJ

It is frustrating to have to drive a very considerable distance to be able to shop at Trader Joe,s. Costco is in Riverhead now and it would be great to have TJ,s nearby
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeree
The North Fork of Long Island has become sophicated enough for a Trader Joe
MOST CONVENIENT THING THAT COULD HAPPEN!!
Riverhead would support your business and so would I. My kids and my husband too love you. I happen to work near lake grove but if you opened out East I’d be there practically every day. Been hoping one day to see you in riverhead!
I live a 45 minute drive away from Riverhead and would definitely make the trip for Trader Joes once a week to stock up!
Welcome to Riverhead NY.
You would make a ton of money. Also a pop up store in the Hampton during the summer would be great! And make a ton of money too.
Would like have new store located in the Lighthouse Commons , Oakdale, NY . 11769 There is a vacant super market location at that site. It would be a great location because the closet store is in Lake Grove, NY
There is a strong need and plenty of available real estate. Please make this happen!
There is a strong need and plenty of available real estate. Please make this happen!
Lake Grove is too far away from Cutchogue. I don’t buy from Trader Joe for that reason. Please locate a store in Riverhead to serve those of us further east on both North and South forks and eastern Suffolk County. So many “customers in waiting” here!
I won't travel 40 miles to shop for groceries. I love Trader Joe's and would shop there every week if it was in Riverhead. The east end of Long Island has been begging for a Trader Joe store for 4 or 5 years!! You'd do well here, no doubt about it. You'd pull business from the Hamptons, Montauk and the North Fork.
We need a Trader Joe's in Riverhead, NY.
Seriously, you would crush it. There are thousands and thousands east of Riverhead who are TJ fans but Lake Grove is just too far.
The ever-burgeoning demographics of the East End of Long Island should portend the viability of Trader Joe's in Riverhead.
I would shop Trader Joe's a couple of times a week if you were in Riverhead and I know many of my friends would too!
PLEASE. Open a store further east. . So many of us are taking trips and driving over 60 or more miles to get to your store.promise to be a good customer.Or start an online busoneaa. Thanks!
I would be a regular weekly shopper if there was a Trader Joe's in Riverhead. Now I shop at Trader Joe's about 6 times a year.
Please open a store in Riverhead area!!! You could locally source all the fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers!!!! It would be amazing!!!! Thank You!!!
I happily add my name to the list despite a deep understanding just how much of a long-shot this is. The stores are great. The business model, maybe not so much.
Need a traders joe in riverhead Why always going west, try east!
Please
would love a trader joes out in Riverhead....I religiously shop your store but would be so much more convenient out east
Please grant our request
Perfect placement for you as you'll capture the Hamptons crowd on their way out. Please!!
Please add a Riverhead store..youll be glad you did!
We need Trader Joe’s
A Trader Joe’s in Riverhead is greatly needed!
We need more choices out east, please come to Miller Place or Riverhead
Please get one in Riverhead
We really need this location!! Yeah Trader Joe's Riverhead
Riverhead needs a Trader Joe's. It would draw customers from both forks as well as Brookhaven Township. Please open !
Lake Grove is the nearest and it takes over an hour to get their. Trader Joe needs to know that there are many from both forks would be shopping at a Riverhead store.
Please please please we need a trader joe’s In riverhead!
A Trader Joe’s in Rivehead is needed. Please make it happen.
We need a Trader Joe’s in Riverhead
This is a waste of time. Trader Joe's does not care how much money it can make on the east end of Long Island. They just don't want to come here.
We really need a Trader Joe’s
Please please come to Riverhead! We need one out this end of Long Island!!
A store in Riverhead is wanted and needed. Please consider.
Hoping !
I drive to commack store where my daughter lives
You’ll service people from both the North and South Forks including the Hamptons.
Sweet mammy jammy we are moving from LA to Southampton and I was horrified when I heard we're going to have to drive an hour when here we have a choice of 4 TJs all like 10 or 15 minutes away. We're opening a BNB and we need you!!!
The east end of Long Island is long overdue for a much needed location for a Trader Joe’s!!! Business will be great out here.
I have reached out many times about a store in Riverhead and I know others who have also. I think we would all like to know if one might come and if not why. We never get an answer from corporate.
Please open a store in Riverhead. The closet store is 30 minutes away!!
I would love to have a TJ's near me. The one in Lake Grove is an hour away so I don't get there as often as I would like.
We need you here!
I would love a Trader Joe's on the East End of Long Island!
YES to TJ, According to the New York Post’s story, Hunter Biden in 2015 introduced his Father, then VP in the Obama Administration, to a Top Exec Vadym Pozharskyi at Ukrainian Burisma Holdings Ltd after Hunter joined the company’s board which was Paying him up to $83,000 a Month. The insinuation is that Hunter Successfully Influenced his Father to Pressure Ukraine Government officials “into Firing the Prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was Investigating Corruption against Burisma. Facebook and Twitter took action to limit distribution (censored) the New York Post story citing Emails purportedly Revealing Evidence of Influence-Peddling by Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden. The Emails were obtained from a Laptop which had a sticker from the Beau Biden Foundation, and had been Abandoned at Computer-Repair Shop, named “The Mac Shop” in Wilmington, Delaware and owned by John Paul Mac Isaac, who then reported the laptop’s contents to authorities which determined that the laptop and hard drive contain fruits of criminal activity. Joe Biden and his family engaged in "Legal Corruption" despite claims of no wrongdoing and the Liberal Main Stream Media Refuses to Talk and will never Report about Hunter Biden’s laptop and emails, fearing Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden will Lose the 2020 Election if this information is exposed to the American People. This is evidence that Joe Biden participated in his Family’s CASH-for-Influence Scheme with Shady Foreign Companies. The American People should be demanding that the Media investigate this scandal before they VOTE, but we know, the Media will never report on Hunter Biden’s emails because it would be harmful to Joe Biden.
We need a Trader Joe’s in Riverhead!!!!
Agree that’s needed and will do very well
Need your store nearby!!!!
Please open in Riverhead. I live in Wading River on North Fork & hardly get to nearest Lake Grove store since too long a trip
Bring Trader's Joes to Riverhead. It would do fabulous!
The year round population out on both the North and South fork has increased exponentially especially now due to Covid. What is the hold up in opening up in Riverhead? From a business/profitability standpoint it makes no sense. A very loyal customer who lives in Southold and would frequent shopping at Trader Joes much frequently if you were closer!
Have been hoping to get a Trader Joe closer to me for years
Moving from Plainview to Riverhead and would love to have a Trader Joes
We need Trader Joe’s in Riverhead NY Your missing an opportunity to keep Your city customers loyal. Even the German company Lidle knows enough to open here!! And they aren’t any competition to you. They took Best Market away big mistake, Trader Joe’s will not only replace them Joe’s will leave them in the dust! You must have done survey to know it’s your demographic !

We love Trader Joe. Lake Grove is too far to travel for groceries from the East End. Riverhead needs Trader Joe
Yes!
Riverhead, NY is a main hub for shoppers and would make a great Trader Joe's location. There are some newly built buildings out here and vacant ones that would make a perfect spot. Please consider this.

More than ever with the burgeoning growth of new residents flocking from NYC to the East End, it would serve Trader Joe’s and the locals by establishing a store in Riverhead to serve both East End Forks. $$$$$
Trader Joe's would crush it in Riverhead.
Yes! Please!!!
With appreciation for TJ consideration!
Please make this happen!
Please!!!
We want Trader Joes! Just think of all the Manhattenites coming East on summer weekends!
There are many potential customers on the North Fork AND the South Fork Please come to Riverhead.
Please open Riverhead location
Riverhead is East Ends favorite shopping destination. Considering that closest Trader Joe is about one hour away it makes sense to bring one to that area.
Need Trader Joe's in Riverhead,
Please open store in Riverhead ny
It will do so well between the North and South Fork residents that now live here all year round and the thousands of day trippers and summer rentals.
riverhead TJ much needed
I love Trader Joe’s but since it takes me 50 minutes to get there I rarely go. Please put one in Riverhead
I’ve been to other Trader Joe’s , and was very impressed, I would like to have one in my town of Riverhead , NY, there selection would be an asset to our area, and we do have empty stores that having a Trader Joe’s in would bring also bring more business to the existing stores, let’s keep our shopping to our area , not bringing it to or their locations
We don't go to Lake Grove very often but are in Riverhead every week. Would make good use of a Trader Joe's out there.
please open in Riverhead
Our community needs this. Would be such a wonderful addition.
East end of Long Island deserves a Trader Joe’s in the area!!!
Please put a trader joes in both riverhead and the east end
We need this!
Come To the east end please!
We have a long drive for the closest TJ; please put one out here!
We The Residents would truly love a Trader Joe’s in riverhead, N.Y . We love the merchandise, we love the sales!!! Please bring us Trader Joe’s!!!
Trader Joe's!!!
I would be shopping at Trader Joe’s weekly. If it were closer I live in East Quogue and I have to drive all the way out to Smithtown which is a 45 to 50 minute drive so sadly I only get to shop there once every few months.
Please bring Trader Joe's to Riverhead soon!!
Please bring a TJ’s to Riverhead !!!
Riverhead Trader Joe’s !! Yes! Yes!
Would love to see a TJs open out here in Riverhead. Much too far to drive to the closest location in Smithhaven.
Please open in Riverhead
What great news!!! It's like Christmas. Thank You
Yes! Riverhead!!!
Multiple empty stores in Riverhead that would serve North and South Forks. I personally have to drive over 50 miles to the nearest TJ
Yes we need one in Riverhead not Miller Place which is too close to Lake Grove
please. it’s time!
Yes yes
Please come to Riverhead!!!
Riverhead needs a TJ’s!!!!
We need Trader Joe’s in Riverhead. I’m tired of driving so far.
We need a Trader Joe’s in riverhead!
Riverhead is a perfect location for Trader Joe's !! Please come to Riverhead.
We need Trader Joe’s at the fork between north and south forks. There are lots more all year round residents than 10-25 years ago. And lots of space available. Old Christmas Tree store or bed bath beyond store right off RT58
I have long wished for a TJ in Riverhead.
We need Trader Joe’s on eastern Long Island please!
Miller place or Riverhead would be good for me.
Please seriously consider this! It would be a great addition for our community!
There is also a spot for rent near Tanger's mall that looks like it would be perfect.
Looking forward to having a store closer to home
We need a Trader Joe’s!!!
Please, please make one in Riverhead!!! I have already asked numerous times.
We love your store and need to have one in Riverhead!!!
Many residents of both the North and South forks of Lond Island love Trader Joe's. Many of us don't go because of the crowded store in Lake Grove not to mention the almost hour long drive to get there. Riverhead is the connection between the north and south forks. Our only option for organic options is Wild By Nature in Hampton Bays, but they are wildly expensive. Since the pandemic, many urban residents made the permanent move to our beautiful suburban area. We think it would be advantageous for you to consider occupying one of the many vacant stores in Riverhead that have been recently closed due to nation wide store closures.
We really need and want you to be here!
We need a Trader Joe’s!!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WE NEED ONE
We are really desperate for TJ’s to come out East.
Sick of driving over an hour each way to go to Trader Joe’s.
Come to Riverhead, please! Miller Place is still too far!
We need it
Definitely a need in Riverhead. You would do well out here
Please.
Traffic to Lake Grove makes shopping there nearly impossible.
Riverhead please!
Big Trader Joe's fan, Riverhead has many locations that would be terrific. Especially on Main St. right downtown, which would be great for area! Bring lots of people to our historic town. Thanks!
I love your store, it's too far to drive to Smith Haven Lake Grove to shop on regular basis.
Rt 58 in Riverhead serves both the N and S forks of LI. PLEASE open a store there- consider the building that TJ Max is moving from this Fall.
Please consider a TJ’s in Riverhead.
We’ve waited too long. We’ve got the demographic. Meanwhile, Aldi and LIdl are thriving. I'm in Riverhead once a week. Otherwise it’s every couple of months load up your trunk with coolers and drive an hour up island to the nearest TJs.
Please bring Trader Joe’s to riverhead!
Please come to riverhead.
Please bring Trader Joe's to Riverhead NY. Right now I have to drive approximately 1 1/2 hrs to nearest store in Lake Grove. A Riverhead location would be frequented by many people on eastern end of Long Island NY
The old Swezey’s space would revitalize downtown in one fell swoop!
Please
Pleaseeeeee
Please!!!!!
I ❤️ Trader Joe’s and want one close for my weekly shopping.
If you actually read the thousands of requests, there would be a Trader Joe's in Riverhead. Or someone from corporate would respond to any one of us telling us why. Too many rumors.
PLEASE!
This would be so amazing!!!
Pleas open a Trader Joe’s farther east
We love you traders joes! Come to Riverhead!
Please bring Trader Joe to Riverhead ny
I WANT TRADER JOES
the closest trader joe’s in almost two hours away there is no store on the east end of long island would mostly likely be your busy store
I love shopping at Trader Joe's and often drive to Lake Grove...an hour each way. A store in Riverhead to serve both forks would be very successful. Or Southampton or Westhampton
Yes to Trader Joes!
Please open a Trader Joe’s in Riverhead
we need trader joes in riverhead it makes me so happy when i am at one
The east end so needs a store like this please !!! the revenue from this location would possibly be the highest
we need a trader Joes out east on long island
Open in Riverhead NY The twin fork of Long Island
Hope the manage meant knows how much TJ's in Riverbed would be greatly appreciated.
Hope the manage meant knows how much TJ's in Riverbed would be greatly appreciated.
Just came back from East Northport and stopped to shop at TJ's. I usually go to Lake Grove, but since I was in E.N., I shopped there. I asked the told the clerk We need a store In Riverbed. He said he heard lots of people are requesting a store out East. So I guess the bosses know there is a demand. Hopefully, we won't have to wait too much longer.
It would be nice to shop in Trader Joe's in Riverhead instead of Lake Grove!

With two small kids it's incredible to walk into a store and being comfortable purchasing anything in it. Driving 45 minutes to an hour is not so incredible and really limits our ability to visit TJ. Please come to the east end!
I live in East Hampton & make the trek to Trader Joe's in Lake Grove at least once monthly (65 miles). I, and so many other residents of East Hampton would love a store in Riverhead. Please consider it!

PLEASE. Open a store further east. . So many of us are taking trips and driving over 60 or more miles to get to your store.promise to be a good customer.Or start an online busoneaa. Thanks!
I would be a regular weekly shopper if there was a Trader Joe's in Riverhead. Now I shop at Trader Joe's about 6 times a year.
Please open a store in Riverhead area!!! You could locally source all the fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers!!!! It would be amazing!!!! Thank You!!!
I happily add my name to the list despite a deep understanding just how much of a long-shot this is. The stores are great. The business model, maybe not so much.

A Trader Joe’s in Rivehead is needed. Please make it happen.
We need a Trader Joe’s in Riverhead
This is a waste of time. Trader Joe's does not care how much money it can make on the east end of Long Island. They just don't want to come here.
We really need a Trader Joe’s
Please please come to Riverhead! We need one out this end of Long Island!!
A store in Riverhead is wanted and needed. Please consider.
Hoping !
I drive to commack store where my daughter lives
You’ll service people from both the North and South Forks including the Hamptons.
Sweet mammy jammy we are moving from LA to Southampton and I was horrified when I heard we're going to have to drive an hour when here we have a choice of 4 TJs all like 10 or 15 minutes away. We're opening a BNB and we need you!!!
The east end of Long Island is long overdue for a much needed location for a Trader Joe’s!!! Business will be great out here.
I have reached out many times about a store in Riverhead and I know others who have also. I think we would all like to know if one might come and if not why. We never get an answer from corporate.
Please open a store in Riverhead. The closet store is 30 minutes away!!
I would love to have a TJ's near me. The one in Lake Grove is an hour away so I don't get there as often as I would like.
We need you here!
I would love a Trader Joe's on the East End of Long Island!
YES to TJ, According to the New York Post’s story, Hunter Biden in 2015 introduced his Father, then VP in the Obama Administration, to a Top Exec Vadym Pozharskyi at Ukrainian Burisma Holdings Ltd after Hunter joined the company’s board which was Paying him up to $83,000 a Month. The insinuation is that Hunter Successfully Influenced his Father to Pressure Ukraine Government officials “into Firing the Prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was Investigating Corruption against Burisma. Facebook and Twitter took action to limit distribution (censored) the New York Post story citing Emails purportedly Revealing Evidence of Influence-Peddling by Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden. The Emails were obtained from a Laptop which had a sticker from the Beau Biden Foundation, and had been Abandoned at Computer-Repair Shop, named “The Mac Shop” in Wilmington, Delaware and owned by John Paul Mac Isaac, who then reported the laptop’s contents to authorities which determined that the laptop and hard drive contain fruits of criminal activity. Joe Biden and his family engaged in "Legal Corruption" despite claims of no wrongdoing and the Liberal Main Stream Media Refuses to Talk and will never Report about Hunter Biden’s laptop and emails, fearing Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden will Lose the 2020 Election if this information is exposed to the American People. This is evidence that Joe Biden participated in his Family’s CASH-for-Influence Scheme with Shady Foreign Companies. The American People should be demanding that the Media investigate this scandal before they VOTE, but we know, the Media will never report on Hunter Biden’s emails because it would be harmful to Joe Biden.
We need a Trader Joe’s in Riverhead!!!!
Agree that’s needed and will do very well
Need your store nearby!!!!
Please open in Riverhead. I live in Wading River on North Fork & hardly get to nearest Lake Grove store since too long a trip
Bring Trader's Joes to Riverhead. It would do fabulous!
The year round population out on both the North and South fork has increased exponentially especially now due to Covid. What is the hold up in opening up in Riverhead? From a business/profitability standpoint it makes no sense. A very loyal customer who lives in Southold and would frequent shopping at Trader Joes much frequently if you were closer!
Have been hoping to get a Trader Joe closer to me for years
Moving from Plainview to Riverhead and would love to have a Trader Joes
We need Trader Joe’s in Riverhead NY Your missing an opportunity to keep Your city customers loyal. Even the German company Lidle knows enough to open here!! And they aren’t any competition to you. They took Best Market away big mistake, Trader Joe’s will not only replace them Joe’s will leave them in the dust! You must have done survey to know it’s your demographic !

We love Trader Joe. Lake Grove is too far to travel for groceries from the East End. Riverhead needs Trader Joe
Yes!
Riverhead, NY is a main hub for shoppers and would make a great Trader Joe's location. There are some newly built buildings out here and vacant ones that would make a perfect spot. Please consider this.

More than ever with the burgeoning growth of new residents flocking from NYC to the East End, it would serve Trader Joe’s and the locals by establishing a store in Riverhead to serve both East End Forks. $$$$$
Trader Joe's would crush it in Riverhead.
Yes! Please!!!
With appreciation for TJ consideration!
Please make this happen!

We want Trader Joes! Just think of all the Manhattenites coming East on summer weekends!
There are many potential customers on the North Fork AND the South Fork Please come to Riverhead.
Please open Riverhead location
Riverhead is East Ends favorite shopping destination. Considering that closest Trader Joe is about one hour away it makes sense to bring one to that area.
Need Trader Joe's in Riverhead,
Please open store in Riverhead ny
It will do so well between the North and South Fork residents that now live here all year round and the thousands of day trippers and summer rentals.
riverhead TJ much needed
I love Trader Joe’s but since it takes me 50 minutes to get there I rarely go. Please put one in Riverhead
I’ve been to other Trader Joe’s , and was very impressed, I would like to have one in my town of Riverhead , NY, there selection would be an asset to our area, and we do have empty stores that having a Trader Joe’s in would bring also bring more business to the existing stores, let’s keep our shopping to our area , not bringing it to or their locations
We don't go to Lake Grove very often but are in Riverhead every week. Would make good use of a Trader Joe's out there.
please open in Riverhead
Our community needs this. Would be such a wonderful addition.
East end of Long Island deserves a Trader Joe’s in the area!!!

We The Residents would truly love a Trader Joe’s in riverhead, N.Y . We love the merchandise, we love the sales!!! Please bring us Trader Joe’s!!!
Trader Joe's!!!
I would be shopping at Trader Joe’s weekly. If it were closer I live in East Quogue and I have to drive all the way out to Smithtown which is a 45 to 50 minute drive so sadly I only get to shop there once every few months.
Please bring Trader Joe's to Riverhead soon!!
Please bring a TJ’s to Riverhead !!!
Riverhead Trader Joe’s !! Yes! Yes!
Would love to see a TJs open out here in Riverhead. Much too far to drive to the closest location in Smithhaven.
Please open in Riverhead
What great news!!! It's like Christmas. Thank You
Yes! Riverhead!!!
Multiple empty stores in Riverhead that would serve North and South Forks. I personally have to drive over 50 miles to the nearest TJ

Riverhead needs a TJ’s!!!!

We need a Trader Joe’s in riverhead!
Riverhead is a perfect location for Trader Joe's !! Please come to Riverhead.
We need Trader Joe’s at the fork between north and south forks. There are lots more all year round residents than 10-25 years ago. And lots of space available. Old Christmas Tree store or bed bath beyond store right off RT58
I have long wished for a TJ in Riverhead.
We need Trader Joe’s on eastern Long Island please!
Miller place or Riverhead would be good for me.
Please seriously consider this! It would be a great addition for our community!
There is also a spot for rent near Tanger's mall that looks like it would be perfect.
Looking forward to having a store closer to home
We need a Trader Joe’s!!!
Please, please make one in Riverhead!!! I have already asked numerous times.
We love your store and need to have one in Riverhead!!!
Many residents of both the North and South forks of Lond Island love Trader Joe's. Many of us don't go because of the crowded store in Lake Grove not to mention the almost hour long drive to get there. Riverhead is the connection between the north and south forks. Our only option for organic options is Wild By Nature in Hampton Bays, but they are wildly expensive. Since the pandemic, many urban residents made the permanent move to our beautiful suburban area. We think it would be advantageous for you to consider occupying one of the many vacant stores in Riverhead that have been recently closed due to nation wide store closures.
We really need and want you to be here!
We need a Trader Joe’s!!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WE NEED ONE
We are really desperate for TJ’s to come out East.
Sick of driving over an hour each way to go to Trader Joe’s.
Come to Riverhead, please! Miller Place is still too far!
We need it
Definitely a need in Riverhead. You would do well out here
Please.
Traffic to Lake Grove makes shopping there nearly impossible.
Riverhead please!
Big Trader Joe's fan, Riverhead has many locations that would be terrific. Especially on Main St. right downtown, which would be great for area! Bring lots of people to our historic town. Thanks!
I love your store, it's too far to drive to Smith Haven Lake Grove to shop on regular basis.
Rt 58 in Riverhead serves both the N and S forks of LI. PLEASE open a store there- consider the building that TJ Max is moving from this Fall.
Please consider a TJ’s in Riverhead.
We’ve waited too long. We’ve got the demographic. Meanwhile, Aldi and LIdl are thriving. I'm in Riverhead once a week. Otherwise it’s every couple of months load up your trunk with coolers and drive an hour up island to the nearest TJs.
Please bring Trader Joe’s to riverhead!
Please come to riverhead.
Please bring Trader Joe's to Riverhead NY. Right now I have to drive approximately 1 1/2 hrs to nearest store in Lake Grove. A Riverhead location would be frequented by many people on eastern end of Long Island NY
The old Swezey’s space would revitalize downtown in one fell swoop!
Please
Pleaseeeeee
Please!!!!!
I ❤️ Trader Joe’s and want one close for my weekly shopping.
If you actually read the thousands of requests, there would be a Trader Joe's in Riverhead. Or someone from corporate would respond to any one of us telling us why. Too many rumors.
PLEASE!
This would be so amazing!!!
Pleas open a Trader Joe’s farther east
We love you traders joes! Come to Riverhead!
Please bring Trader Joe to Riverhead ny
I WANT TRADER JOES
the closest trader joe’s in almost two hours away there is no store on the east end of long island would mostly likely be your busy store
I love shopping at Trader Joe's and often drive to Lake Grove...an hour each way. A store in Riverhead to serve both forks would be very successful. Or Southampton or Westhampton
Yes to Trader Joes!
Please open a Trader Joe’s in Riverhead
we need trader joes in riverhead it makes me so happy when i am at one
The east end so needs a store like this please !!! the revenue from this location would possibly be the highest
we need a trader Joes out east on long island
Open in Riverhead NY The twin fork of Long Island
Hope the manage meant knows how much TJ's in Riverbed would be greatly appreciated.
Hope the manage meant knows how much TJ's in Riverbed would be greatly appreciated.
Just came back from East Northport and stopped to shop at TJ's. I usually go to Lake Grove, but since I was in E.N., I shopped there. I asked the told the clerk We need a store In Riverbed. He said he heard lots of people are requesting a store out East. So I guess the bosses know there is a demand. Hopefully, we won't have to wait too much longer.
It would be nice to shop in Trader Joe's in Riverhead instead of Lake Grove!

With two small kids it's incredible to walk into a store and being comfortable purchasing anything in it. Driving 45 minutes to an hour is not so incredible and really limits our ability to visit TJ. Please come to the east end!
