BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA — For several years now, residents have been clamoring for the popular Trader Joe's chain to come to the township.
When the Amazon Fresh store folded, residents wanted Trader Joe's to replace it. With the Neshaminy Mall closing and the property to be redeveloped, residents want a Trader Joe's at the site.
Not township officials are trying to lure Trader Joe's.
"Bensalem Residents, Let's Bring Trader Joe's to Our Community," the township posted on Facebook on Tuesday. "We're lobbying to bring Trader Joe's to Bensalem Township, and we need your support!"
Township officials are asking residents to click the link here to let Trader Joe's that they are wanted.
"You asked we're listening," Bensalem Township Councilman Joseph Wenzel Jr. said. "Today, we had a conversation with Trader Joe's corporate office about the possibility of bringing a location to Bensalem. Trader Joe's conducts studies in communities where there is strong local demand and we need to show them that Bensalem wants one."
