Trader Joe’s Petition Started By This Town in New York

Trader Joe's is a popular grocery store with several locations around New York State. This town is petitioning to get its own.

The state is no stranger to great grocery stores. Wegmans, Tops, Price Chopper, Market 42, and large grocers like Aldi, Walmart, Target, and more can be found through the Empire State.  Trader Joe's also has stores throughout the state with at least 27 locations. Most are in New York City, but Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, and even Ithaca have a location. One community is looking to add a second store.

Buffalo has one store, but a prominent suburb is looking to add a second.

Where would another Trader Joe's fit in Buffalo, New York?

As of right now, the only location for the grocery store chain in the Buffalo area is the one on Niagara Falls Boulevard in Amherst, which the Buffalo's largest suburb. However, many people have mentioned that they would love to get one close to them.

Most of the requests come from people in the south towns who wish they had one close to them so they didn't have to make the long drive to Amherst.

Orchard Park, New York is circulating a petition for Trader Joe's

The home of the Buffalo Bills, Orchard Park, New York, wants a Trader Joe's. The Orchard Park Chamber of Commerce has sent out a petition hoping that it will help them advocate for a store in their village.

The new location would be at the former "Orchard Fresh Market"

They currently have a vacant storefront at 4060 North Buffalo Street in the village of Orchard Park.  One of the biggest issues with bringing a Trader Joe's to any village is whether they will be able to provide enough parking.  That location is not only already set up for grocery shopping, but would also offer a solution to the parking issue.

Would you like to see a Trader Joe's in the village of Orchard Park?  If so, where do you think the best location would be?
