Dear Mr Haley
We believe that the issuance of this Conditional Use Permit is justified on the basis of
public convenience and necessity for these reasons
1 Our company has been in operation since May 1958 and a licensee of the
Department of Alcoholic Beverages for over 35 years We presently operate 49 stores
from Sacramento to San Diego. Trader Joe's is well known throughout Northern &
Southern California as an operator of food stores which also sells alcoholic
beverages.
2. We are primarily sellers of food. Over 70% of our total sales are of products not
subject to sales tax. We are one of Southern California's leading retailers of nuts.
dried fruits, fresh juices, health foods, cheeses, frozen seafood, whole bean coffees.
etc. We are probably the No 1 retailer of wild rice, Basmati rice. maple syrup, olive oil
and other specialty food products. There is no other retailer in the area similar to
Trader Joe's because our mix of products is different from the mix in supermarkets,
convenience stores, liquor stores, etc.
3. In all of our locations, our customers are almost entrely adults. We do not cater
to children or teenagers-- we carry hardly any soft drinks or regular candy bars. We
sell no cigarettes or magazines. We offer no electronic games, etc. and in many other
locations have willingly stipulated to the Department that we will not install such
games.
4. Our normal hot!rs of operation are 8 00 am to 10:00 prn seven days per week
5 As veterans of 35 years- in the business, we are well aware of the problems of
selling alcoholic beverages, including sales to minors, security against theft. etc. Our
stores have excellent reputations with all the local Police Departments as well as the
Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. We have received numerous letters from
local Police Departments praising us.
