All Milton Neighbors want for Christmas is a Trader Joe’s

Remember when we all thought the Ice House project would yield a Trader Joe’s? Our hopes and dreams were dashed… but maybe there is room for renewed hope?

The following request was posted in Milton Neighbors recently.

Bring TJ’s to the old Walgreens on River Street!

For those who may not have seen this post elsewhere, we are trying to get as many Milton residents as possible to ask Trader Joe’s to move in to the 90 River Street, Mattapan location where Walgreens has recently closed.

Please take a minute to fill out this form! (Click to see the Trader Joe’s Contact form)

Here is some sample text you can copy and paste into your request:

At 90 River St. in Boston there’s a newly-closed Walgreens that would be a great location for a TJ’s. It’s on the Milton / Boston line, next to a red line trolley stop (Central Ave.) and close to the Lower Mills neighborhood of Dorchester. Lots of opportunity to serve residents of Milton, Mattapan, and Dorchester, none of whom have easy access to a TJ’s. There are several new mixed use condo developments going up in this area of Milton and TJ’s could benefit from staking a claim to this spot.
