The people of Smyrna-Vinings (859 of them to be exact) want a Trader Joe's, and they've taken to gathering signatures on a petition to get themselves one. Dissatisfied at having to drive to the Buckhead location on Peachtree or the East Cobb outpost off Johnson's Ferry, among potential Smyrna-Vinings TJ's sites mentioned are the forthcoming Jonquil Village. An expansion to the Smynings area would seem a no-brainer given the area's popularity with the young professionals and families that flooded into the area over the past 10-15 years seeking refuge from housing prices in Buckhead and the nicest areas of Vinings proper.
