To the Editor:

In response to a reader wanting a Trader Joe’s: A company does an assessment to see if they can make a profit. Trader Joe’s, or any other business, will not come until that happens. Strip malls are empty for this reason. People don’t want their groceries to cost an arm and a leg either. Re: Fox News, “Supermarket Weep”, receipt showing grocery purchase at TJ $444.08.
