I represent a collective voice of the community in Grand Junction, deriving immense joy from shopping at Trader Joe's while visiting other locations. It is our wish to have more accessibility to Trader Joe's unique and value-for-money items on a daily basis. Currently, Grand Junction residents need to travel over 250 miles to the closest Trader Joe's location. This significantly hampers our shopping convenience and forces us to miss out on the many exciting benefits Trader Joe's offerings provide.

With a population of over 60,000 in Grand Junction, there is a significant customer base for Trader Joe's to tap into. Not only will this location serve the community of Grand Junction, but will also serve the entire Western Slope of Colorado and parts of Eastern Utah, as many rural towns travel to Grand Junction as a central location to shop. As per statistics, Trader Joe's, known for its organic and non-GMO variety of foods, has a huge potential of fostering healthier eating habits amongst us. Adding a Trader Joe's to our city could not only cater to our shopping needs but also amplify the shopping diversity and economy of Grand Junction.

It is important to stress, one of the cornerstones of Trader Joe's mission is bringing customers the best food and beverage values while providing outstanding customer service. Having a Trader Joe's in our town would mean greater accessibility, improved food options and a heightened sense of belonging to a community that cares for its residents. We ask that Trader Joe's consider our request, for it comes from a place of harmony, accessibility and love for great food. We kindly urge you to sign this petition to bring Trader Joe's to Grand Junction.
