Dear Team Captain Rana Oh, and Crew member Jammie:
**Hello and good afternoon. My name is Mr. Tracy Charles Gibson. I had the good honor to visit your store at 2121 Market Street yesterday ( October 24th, 2017 ), and talk with a Mr. Jammie about possible employment there. I was not sure if I should have taken the time, at that particular time, to mention some other opportunities for Trader Joe’s as a company, that I Am willing to extend. I thought it would be better to mention those opportunities here and now.
**As an unpaid consultant, I have been working to help a store move into the space between 41st and 40th and Lancaster Avenue as an area supermarket. I would be able to work for you as a consultant, if you would like that. I have written ACME Markets and Fresh Grocer, but with little success. ( Fresh Grocer did write back, but made no promises. ) It is a prime location in a changing neighborhood. I am dead set against the gentrification of our neighborhoods, but change happens and there is really not much I, as one person, can do to stop it or change its’ grotesque impact on Black individuals and Black families very much. I think Trader Joe’s would make a fine addition to the neighborhood at this location because Trader Joe’s has a reputation of being a bit more neighborhood- friendly, fair and diverse in personnel. I live right around the corner there, and I can tell you, this is a food desert. There is no really viable supermarket except for the Fresh Grocers at 40th and Walnut Street, the Sunshine Market at 43rd and Lancaster Avenue, and the Shop Rite at 52nd and Lancaster Avenue in a small shopping mall there. ( I often visit the Planet Fitness there ).
** Aside from needing a job, I own stock in companies and want to see companies do well. I have advocated for better wages for working people, and I have advocated for more bank branches for United Bank. (I was told by a branch manager at Progress Plaza that they need a branch back in West Philadelphia, one in Upper Darby, and one in The North East. )
** I Am doing the research to see if Trader Joe’s offers stock on the New York Stock Exchange. ( From what I know you either already offer stock, or are moving in this direction ). I am interested in buying stock in Trader Joe’s in the near future. With a greater income, I’ll be able to buy more stock. I am on disability, for problems with depression, but I don’t think this will hold me back from working the 20 to 25 hours I have applied for in my application. I have not been hospitalized for depression in 12 years, and have been highly functional for about 6 years.
**I Am a businessman and a journalist and want to have my own successful businesses soon. I Am interested in finding out if you have an Associates program used for marketing by many big corporations. What it does is track a persons’ personal shopping choices in spending and track trends and habits that are helpful to advertising and marketing plans. Please send me more information on how to become a Trader Joe’s Associate, if you have such an on-line program. As a business executive, I Am also interested in finding out if and when you want to break into the home-shopping and home delivery market for Philadelphia. I know that if you bought a rather large warehouse and sent groceries from there, you would save money and reach a high level of profitability and productivity. One other thing I wanted to mention, and this is something I thought up myself after thinking about it for a while. Have you even thought of having a person with a small table in the store to give out free information about investing in Trader Joe’s? Reason being, there are hundreds of people who shop at Trader Joe’s who are upper-income who would be viable Stock buyers. Even people like me who are extremely low on the income scale ( as far as I know ) , would be interested if you got with a company like Fidelity Investments and or Vanguard Group who make it very easy and less threatening to invest in the stock market. This could be a fantastic boon to your existing stock-holders, executives, and workers!
**Thank you for considering me a possible executive at Trader Joe’s. If there are any possibilities for assistant manager positions, I would also like to be considered for them as well. I appreciate your kindness, especially considering the climate of self-centeredness we presently live in emanating from leadership in Washington, D.C. Like the former First lady Michelle Obama says ``When they go low, we go high!’’. ( a direct quote. )
Gratefully True,
Mr. Tracy Charles Gibson,
Community Advocate / Stock Owner,
President, Founder and Chief of Brother Tracy Gibson &
