Tacoma News Tribune poll: What is on your business wish list? | Tacoma News Tribune

In an area with nearly one million residents, the article discusses Pierce County's significant lack of major retailers and restaurants, particularly noting the sole Trader Joe's location in University Place. Popular brands such as IKEA, Pottery Barn, and In-N-Out are missing, despite their availability in surrounding areas. To address this, the Tacoma News Tribune has initiated a poll inviting local residents to vote on their preferred grocery stores, home goods retailers, and restaurants. Open until December 9, the poll allows participants to express their preferences across various categories. After the voting period, the publication will report the results and reach out to the most requested brands to explore potential expansions.

This initiative aims to enhance the shopping landscape while reflecting community desires and needs, fostering involvement in local development discussions.
