As residents of the Greenleigh community in Middle River, MD, we face a daily struggle. Our community is in desperate need of a grocery store. Currently, we have to drive too far away from our community just to buy our basic necessities. This not only consumes our precious time but also adds unnecessary transportation costs.

The lack of local grocery options affects us all - from working parents who juggle between their jobs and household chores, to senior citizens who find it difficult to travel far distances.   Most of the residents who have spoken up about this concern feel that a Trader Joe’s grocery store would be the perfect operator in terms of size and quality food offerings to serve our growing community of 2,200 homes and more than 3,000,000 Sq. Ft. of commercial space 

We are very fortunate that there's a great opportunity for change on our horizon. St. John Properties Inc., as owner of all of the retail land and buildings in our community, is prepared to get creative and offer financial incentives for Trader Joe's to open a new grocery store within our community. This would be an immense relief and bring much-needed convenience and accessibility for all residents.

Let's make this vision become reality! We respectfully invite and urge Trader Joe’s to review this great opportunity and begin discussions with St. John Properties about opening a new store here as soon as possible!

Please sign this petition if you believe that our community will support and shop regularly at a high-quality grocery store like Trader Joe’s located inside of our community.  Thank you and let’s bring a new Trader Joe’s to Greenleigh!
