New Grocery Store

I would love to have a Trader Joe's in Independence Township. We have the space where Farmer Jacks used to be. I believe Independence Township residents would like a specialty grocery store like Hillers or Colasanti's or Whole Foods. Trade Joe's personnel say the company adds 20 to 22 stores a year. Right now, the Rochester Hills store is the closest to Clarkston and Independence Township. The Chamber of Commerce did a survey a couple of months ago on the need and wishes of residents for a new grocery store. Interesting to find out the results. We have Rudy's but the market is limited with limited parking. We don't want to lose one store for another, so we need to have some variety. Let me hear from you on your thoughts about a specialty grocery.

  1. That would be a good idea to fill at least one of the vacant former Farmer Jack's buildings in the area.

  2. I hear this from people in the Clarkston area all of the time. What would it take to be considered by one of these markets?
