Trader Joe's
« on: September 06, 2017, 07:56:19 AM »
I think a good location for a Trader Joe's would be in the now vacant Sports Authority building on Northern Blvd at 50 Street  It seems to meet most of their requirements.  I wrote to Trader Joe's suggesting it.  If anyone else thinks this is a good idea please send them an email.  The more the better.
thanks

If they get a lot of interest, they might take it seriously since we only have one, very inconveniently located TJ's in Queens!
Please write to them!

The exact address of Sports Authority is 5130 Northern Blvd. if you want to put it in your request.

Thanks for suggesting this! That would be a great location for a 2nd TJs in Queens. I wrote to them today.

Wegman's is another option. I am open to that also.  I just went on their website and found they plan to open one in Brooklyn.  We could write to them also with this suggestion.

To say that I am excited about a Trader Joe's on Northern Boulevard would be the understatement of the century  :o

That location on Northern Boulevard is also right next to a subway stop, unlike TJ's other location in Queens, which requires a bus, taxi, or car.

That would be such a great spot for a Trader Joe's! I just messaged them.

I noticed that the parking lot at the former Sports Authority is now being used to stock vehicles from a local dealer.  Wondering if this is an indicator that the space will be utilized by a car dealership for the long-term.

I say keep those requests to TJ's coming. Three subway lines stop right there! That location would be such a huge advantage for everyone in Astoria, Jackson Heights, Sunnyside (and S Gardens) and Long Island City.
