Pirate Joe's
Did you see the news report about a Canadian who built a Store In Vancouver? Called it Pirate Joe's. Canada has no Trader Joes. So he opened a store that he stocks with Trader Joe Products. He drives to Somewhere in Washington State buys popular Trader Joes product and brings them to his store in Vancouver.
Seems like a perfect solution for us because I am sure our market is just to small for Trader Joe's to build a store here. But now Trader Joe's is trying to shut him down stating various legal issues but mostly I think just trying to protect their right to maybe some day enter the Canadian Market with Their name.
It actually sounds a lot like our wall issue. A company protecting it's rights to commercial development and make money on all it's positive aspects which they have spent millions to grow and promote.
