Dear Trader Joe's

We are a town in Idaho that is considered the sister city of Spokane. We are petitioning you to please open a store here in our city of Coeur d'Alene. We currently have a population of over 52,000 people, and trust us, based on the sheer amount of new construction projects, every single resident of California and Oregon will have moved here by the time you're finished building your store. Okay Joe, that was a joke, but seriously, people are moving here in mass amounts. We need you to be in that group as well! 

What well established city doesn't need Two Buck Chuck? Women here love their wine, and we purchase it in bulk. We promise you there will be customers coming in buying up your wine and spirits daily. You won't be able to keep your shelves stocked.

Your orange chicken is delightful. Your vegan options are unmatched locally. You sell cookie butter sandwiches? Please, we need them here. Mac and cheese bites? PLEASE, we need them here.

We want you to come make it rain "everything but the bagel" seasoning all over our town. We want cauliflower gnocchi. We want hand twisted cinnamon bread. We want dumplings. We want Tikka Masala. 

WE WANT SUCCULENTS AND FLOWERS AND EUCALYPTUS. 

But mostly, we want you. We need you Joe. Don't be a trAItor. Please ride in on your vegan horse and bless our city with your greatness.
