Imagine this: more customers than ever before, more products to save, bigger donations to new communities, and giving shoppers what they need when they need it. I am an eighth-grade student at Silver Hills Middle School in Westminster, Colorado. I am also a loyal customer at Trader Joe’s, you bargain hard to pass the saving to the customers, and I enjoy that! I can’t thank you enough for all the hard work you put into every one of your Trader Joe’s stores and in the way you give back to the community. Your company, Trader Joe’s, has become extremely popular in the United States since it was founded in 1958. In fact, there are 474 locations in the US as of October 12, 2017, so why not add one more? There are multiple Trader Joe’s locations in Aurora, Boulder, and Fort Collins, and there is one location in Colorado Springs. The problem is, there is an extensive gap North of Denver and South of Boulder without a Trader Joe’s location. Of course, when my family is in Boulder or we happen to drive by a store we will stop in, but it is not always convenient. I strongly believe adding a location in Westminster, Colorado will benefit the community and your company. I know Trader Joe’s takes pride in being a “good neighbor” to all, so here’s your chance. You do not want to miss this opportunity! You said it yourself, Trader Joe’s is all about making customers happy and giving them what they need. …show more content…

It is an offbeat, fun zone. You sell new food combinations that leave shoppers wanting more. Not to mention, the innovative, great-tasting food at Trader Joe’s is extremely beneficial to the health and well-being of the communities around it. As someone who takes satisfaction in eating healthy, I would much rather have a place to find excellent food choices that are in the area as opposed to the other side of

    A positive to expanding to Canada is that Canadian shoppers are similar to American shoppers, ideally making this a good target market for growth (Fiorletta, 2015). In an interview regarding expansion in Canada, CO-CEO Walter Rob said, “Our efforts in Canada are part of the effort to grow.” “We think the opportunity for fresh, healthy foods is larger now that it’s ever been”. “And we intend to grow as fast as we have ever grown — 40 new stores next year, 42-44 for the following year.” “That’s 10% square footage growth on top of 15 million square feet of retail we already have.” “People have said maybe we should stop our growth.” “I said, no, we are not going to do that because our strategy is working.” “There’s no reason to stop.” “There’s every reason to keep going.” (Vieira,

  • Praise of Chain Stores by Virginia Postrel

    “So what’s wrong if the country has 158 neighborhood California Pizza Kitchens instead of one or two?” Virginia Postrel inquires in her In Praise of Chain Stores essay (Postrel 348). In rebuttal, I plan to answer her question with more reasons than one. However, the responses I intend to offer apply not only to the CPKs of America, but for all the national retailers, big box stores, chain stores, and the like. National retailers destroy the local character of small towns. Chain stores should be limited to only run in a few highly populated urban areas. Furthermore, the costs saved in the convenience and familiarity of chain stores do not outweigh the negative economic impact and damaging effects that they can have on a community’s well-being.

  • Analysis Of Publix

    In a market that is so dependent on nature and agriculture, it is reassuring to see a company that values the recompensing of materials back to the natural world. In order for Publix to remain successful, the company must carry the momentum that founder George “Mr.George” Jenkins originally started in 1930. The morals and philosophies that lie at the center of Publix Super Markets are integral to their success. Mr. George believed that customers and employees should be treated like family, and if their business model continues to accurately portray their core values, then they will continue to be successful. The question that looms over Publix is not “What can we change?” it is “What can we elaborate on?” Publix needs to use their positive image to expand into other communities. Publix is well-received in the public eye to the point that they are considered beneficial to a community. A marketing campaign that focused on bringing positive change to a struggling community through Publix and their charitable campaigns would create a want/need for the super market in new, untapped territory. Publix is lesser known in the Northern regions of the U.S., a nationwide marketing campaign would result in well-received
