So, you want a Trader Joe’s. Well, here are the requirements for a Trader Joe’s to build in our area. Knowing the right questions to search for on Google I was able to find what it takes to possibly get a Trader Joe’s built in our area. Remember, even if we all work together there is no guarantee they will consider building one here.
They require 2-4 acres vacant land. A location with easy access in and out of the site, signalized intersections are a plus. Lease or purchase.
We will need a minimum of 500 signatures. I’d like to see thousands sign the request!
Trader Joe’s stores are located in counties where the household median income is $10,000 higher than the average median income. Trader Joe’s stores are normally located in cheaper parts of expensive areas.
Mahoning County unfortunately does not meet the median household income $50,750 compared to the national median household income $70,784 but neither does Cuyahoga County at $55,109 and there are three Trader Joe’s built around the Cleveland area. The only parcel of land I can find available that fits the Trader Joe’s property guidelines is at 8524 Market St. Boardman, OH. https://www.loopnet.com/Listing/8524-Market-St-Boardman-OH/26357050/
Like I said earlier, there is no guarantee but if we all say the same thing and get a massive number of signatures, they might build one here. Click this link to request a store. https://www.traderjoes.com/home/contact-us/request-a-store
