What People Are Saying: Which Business Would You Like To See in Westchase?

The discussion began when Westchase Patch blogger Corey Best penned her own . In the letter she wrote:

..."I only need one place where it feels like home when you walk in the door.  Just one store where they make dinner easy.  So easy.  And healthy.  Over the years you have saved me time, saved me calories, saved me money, and saved the day.  You know Florida right? I mean you know about the aforementioned beaches and palm trees and water."

But the ode to Trader Joe's, a West Coast based chain of speciality grocery stores specializing in organics and gourmet foods, triggered something in our readers on the Westchase Patch Facebook Page. While many others agreed a Trader Joe's would be a great addition to Westchase, others had some ideas of their own about what business they'd like to see locate to our neighborhood.

Here's what some of them had to say:

Jennifer Dawson-Waz commented: "Yep Westchase needs a TJ and a Jimmie John's!!!!"

Kiley Synesael Gaffaney said: "Total Wine and Barnes & Noble."

"WEGMANS, a great grocery store, and PANERA," wrote Kim Antropoli Fitzer

Eddie Shasek commented: "Whole Foods."
