Can We Trade Vacant Buildings for Trader Joe’s?
Last week, Sherry had left a comment regarding Trader Joe’s. She had mentioned writing a letter to them encouraging them to open in our neighborhood. If you recall, last summer we tried a similar campaign with Whaley’s, and almost convinced them to move to
Seminole Heights. Currently, Trader Joe’s is one of the few grocery store chain that is still experiencing success and growth. With their unique approach and business model, this store could fit into our diverse neighborhood.
Our neighborhood has been experiencing our own success and growth—in a down economy. We have received much positive publicity in our local papers as new businesses are being built in our neighborhood. (Ella’s, Sangria’s, The Independent, Ricky’s, Gastro, etc) If this many business owners are considering our neighborhood, maybe we can share this enthusiasm with Trader Joe’s. I encourage each of you to contact them to persuade them to consider Seminole Heights.
Why Seminole Heights?
- Diverse neighborhood with disposable income
- Largest organized neighborhood in City of Tampa
- Active Neighborhood Associations
- Centrally located to all areas of Tampa
- Neighborhood still experiencing growth and revitalization
- Inexpensive rent/buildings for sale
- Many available properties
- Easily accessible from interstate
I am sure you may be able to add to the list of positive reasons to invest in our neighborhood! Keep the list growing and the emails flowing. Let’s send a message that we need and want Trader Joe’s!

Do it!!!
This store is the best. Everyone please write letters.
Hopefully their contact form is working now. After spending a good 30 minutes drafting a nice letter, hitting submit got me an error message. When I backed up to the previous page, my letter was gone.
My only hope is that their servers have been flooded with e-mails about how wonderful it would be if they moved to Seminole Heights!
I sent mine. I would suggest typing it in word then cut and paste.
Awww…..too bad we have to pay to sign the petition.
It was a wonderful idea…but that threw me for a loop.
Can this be done so it doesn’t cost us? I would think more would sign it then.
YES. Thank you for deleting the scam that required the “donation”. Not sure what happened this weekend but lots of spamming trolls out there this weekend. Thank you for keeping the site clean. You can access the FREE way of getting their attention by visiting the link that the blogger originally listed.
