It was Coast Incone Properties that said my survey showed 83% favoring a Trader Joe's. The survey question read: "When it comes to a grocery store, do you prefer the center to have:" 57 people answered this question, and the results were as follows: 16%    A) a full grocery store 52%    B) a Trader Joes-type store 32%    C) both a full grocery and a Trader Joes 0.1%   D) I have no preference So I think what the developer did was add up B & C and say that 84% of people wanted a Trader Joes.  While that is true, only 52% want exclusively a Trader Joes, 16% wanted only a grocery store, and 48% wanted a grocery store (by itself or in combination).

That will cut down on traffic, pollution and global warming. A speciality market just offers high priced items we don't need on a daily basis. The big supermarkets probably drive a harder bargain on lease terms and the "speciality market" will pay the rents the developer wants and pass it on to the residents/consumer.
