Bring Trader Joe’s to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area


Bring Trader Joe’s to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area
The Issue
Our community is calling for Trader Joe’s to open a location in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area, and here’s why it’s essential for us: Trader Joe’s is the perfect fit for our community. It offers affordable, high-quality food that people genuinely love and fills a niche that local shoppers are clearly eager for. Currently, the closest Trader Joe’s is nearly two hours away, which poses a significant inconvenience for residents of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre who are seeking healthier and diverse food options at reasonable prices.
The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area is home to a strong and vibrant population. Moreover, tourism is on the rise, and an increasing number of individuals are relocating here from urban centers like New York and New Jersey, bringing with them expectations of variety and quality in grocery shopping. We need a Trader Joe’s to keep up with these developments and to serve the burgeoning community.
Investing in our region by opening a Trader Joe’s is not only good for residents who are desperately seeking the kind of exciting shopping experience Trader Joe’s offers, but it makes business sense. Our area is growing, with ample commercial potential. We have an airport, so we should also have a Trader Joe’s!
Help us transform the retail landscape in our vibrant community. Sign this petition to bring Trader Joe’s to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area. Let’s make it happen!
