Principi goes to Trader Joe’s HQ in California to petition for Woodbridge location

Woodbridge district Supervisor Frank Principi is going to the Trader Joe’s headquarters in California.

Principi is going to their headquarters to petition for a Trader Joe’s location in Woodbridge at his own expense, following consistent feedback from residents.

In a survey he sent to Woodbridge residents, 85 percent of respondents said that they typically spend $100 or more when visiting Trader Joe’s, according to a release.

The “Bring Trader Joe’s to Woodbridge” Facebook page is very active, with more than 1,900 ‘likes’.  

Currently, the two closest locations are in Springfield and Centerville, which means that the money spent by area residents at these sites is leaving Prince William.

According to Principi, he hopes to get a meeting with one of the Trader Joe’s officials, and is willing to wear the company’s trademark Hawaiian shirt to do so.

“If it will help me get the meeting – definitely,” Principi stated in a release.

Residents in Woodbridge have not been shy in expressing their desire to have a Trader Joe’s location in their area.

“Trader Joe’s has unique items that are not available at other stores…They have reasonable prices and their selection of foods tend to have much healthier choices. The food is high quality and tasty and the personnel that work there are some of the friendliest and most helpful of any store, grocery or other,” said Woodbridge resident Harry Winnik in a release.

“We love Trader Joe’s, and right now it’s a once a month treat, only because it’s not close enough for us to go more often…We would shop twice a week if it was closer,” said Lake Ridge resident Erika Estrella in a release.

Principi stated that he would like to collect a signature with 2,000 signatures before he leaves for Trader Joe’s headquarters.

Principi formerly attended school and lived in California.
