Comments:

I strongly support selling the former Wild Oats store site to Trader Joes. I very much like the idea of having a Trader Joes in Portland, Maine in order to provide competition to the other specialty grocer, Whole Foods, and provide market self-regulation of prices. Trader Joes also offers products not available at any other grocer in the state.
