Dear Trader Joe's,
We're tired of driving to Indianapolis, where you have not one, but TWO thriving stores!
Fort Wayne is the second largest city in the state of Indiana, with CSA numbers that justify a store.
The Fort Wayne–Huntington–Auburn Combined Statistical Area (CSA) is made up of seven counties. The statistical area includes one metropolitan area and four micropolitan areas. As of the 2000 Census, the CSA has a population of 548,416 (though a July 1, 2007 estimate placed the population at 570,779).
We have a dedicated work force, low-cost of living, and a beautiful downtown, complete with a new $30+ million stadium.
We also have centrally located prime real estate locations, perfect for a Trader Joe's. So, please, we're begging you, come to Fort Wayne.
Sincerely,
Fort Wayne
I spent another afternoon looking at potential locations downtown and imagining where the aisles would go. The stories you are sharing about the long drives to Indianapolis show just how much we all want this. We are not going to stop asking until they finally take notice of our city.
February 13, 2013
Seeing this much momentum behind our plea for a local store honestly feels surreal. It is proof that I am not the only one here who tired of that long drive to Indianapolis for groceries.
