'Please come to Denver' campaign


So, a few weeks ago I sent a little email to Trader Joe's telling them to please come to Denver.
I think if we all write in then Trader Joe's will start looking into it, and that photo to your right will read: 'Denver, CO NOW OPEN'.

Below is the canned message they sent me; and below that is my original dorky message.

Click here and write in the subject line 'Please come to Denver' and that's it; if you want to write more like I did then that's fine.

Hello Stephanie,
We appreciate your suggestions and enthusiasm regarding opening a store in Colorado. We regret to inform you that at this time we have no confirmed plans for a store location in this area.We are always looking for new locations and are open to suggestions and we appreciate the information you have provided. It truly shows us what a great fan you are of our stores when you scout locations for us! We will keep your recommendations in our files for future consideration. We do have plans on coming to the state. However, due to lack of warehousing and vendors to supply product, we do not have the capabilities to yet supply the area. At this time this state in not in the Trader Joe's 2-year plan. The sale is alcohol is not an issue with where we place our stores as we are in a number of dry states. You can keep up to date of new store locations by accessing our website at
www.traderjoes.com.

Thank you for your inquiry and thank for thinking of Trader Joe's.

Dear TJ's,

First I love your store. Anytime I'm in Cali or NM, I go to them and stock up! And, so do all my friends in Colo. So, please come to Denver, CO!

Don't let the booze in the stores stop you either; Super Target in Glendale, CO sells liquor in that store, they somehow found a little loophole.

You would have a great market here, too. All my friends LOVE TJs! Denver is like an annex of California.

Sincerely,
Stephanie
Denver, Colorado

I walked past a Trader Joe's in Chicago earlier this week. I was going to ask if you wanted anything but.... knew I realistically had no time to go back. Sorry.
