Rockford, IL – The popular Trader Joe’s grocery store, which is nationally owned by Aldi’s chain, politely said “f**k no, we’re not coming to Rockford.” Community internet organizers (click here) [2]and local Swedish people were reeling from the sad news this past week.
The chain was being petitioned the idea to move into the old Hilander / Schnucks grocery store, located in the historic five points neighborhood[4]. The neighborhood is known for its Swedish immigrant transplants with old world money hidden in modest homes with high property taxes.
In recent years, the neighborhood has made a financial transition from old world Swedish money to new world Swedish money to help keep Rockford poor everywhere else in town through private real estate transactions and family trust funds.
