Mayor Seeking Gourmet Grocery Chain for Trenton

Trenton Mayor Kyle Stack has sent several emails to a major gourmet grocery chain to encourage the company to open up shop on Van Horn in Trenton.

Trader Joe's has four locations in Michigan and Trenton Mayor Kyle Stack wants to add one more to the mitten.

Stack has contacted the major gourmet grocery chain four times via email to recommend they bring the store to Trenton.

Stack said she thinks the former site of the 3000 Van Horn Road, on the corner of Fort Street and Van Horn Road would be the perfect spot to house a Trader Joe's.
