Subject: Trader Joe's to the Villages effort for February 1, 2012

Trader Joe's has decided to add 5 more stores in Florida and are currently looking in Gainesville and Orlando. The Villages Real Estate agent is trying to get the developers for Trader Joe's to visit here, but they rarely rely on real estate sales people.

They do have the petition of over 800 names but it is time to step up the recognition of the Villages.

I propose on February 1, 2012, everyone access the Trader Joe's website, go to the contact page and use the request a location drop down to submit your name, email address and request for the Villages. If hundreds and hundreds are sent in on one day, they would need to pay attention to The Villages, or we can only hope.

You will get a computer email generated from them but you will not be added to any spam list.

Trader Joe's


Thank you all so much in your efforts, please pass along to everyone you know that will take a minute sometime on the 1st to show Trader Joe's how much we want them here.

Please pass along so we can have lots of action on February 1.

I'm confused. According to Trader Joe's website, they plan to open their first Florida store in Naples on Feb. 10.

Never been to a Trader Joe's. What kind of store is it? What is special about them? Also have never been to a Wegman's that some neigbors heap praise on.

Trader's Joe's is kind of a unique grocery store. They specialize in really different items. They are the only place that carries Charles Shaw wines (2 buck Chuck). There is nothing like them in The Villages.

Added my request today. I've been a loyal Trader Joe's customer for many years up north and miss them down here.

When we move to TV I will definitely miss Wegmans. Is Fresh Market the best alternative?

Yes, It is like Whole Foods.

I was wondering if I was going to be driving to Winter Park to shop at Whole Foods!

For the Wegman lover's in TV, you can get the famous Zweigle's hot dogs at some of the Publix in TV.
