Kaysville City has launched a city-supported, community-driven grassroots campaign intended to bring a Trader Joe's store to the community. The campaign seeks to capture the attention of Trader Joe's by reaching a goal of 100,000 people contacting the company by the end of May to request a local store location.

Strategic benefits for Kaysville

The city believes Kaysville is an ideal location for expansion due to its central position in Davis County and accessibility via I-15. Supporters note that the presence of the grocery store could increase sales tax revenue to fund city infrastructure, parks, and public safety, while also helping to revitalize the downtown area by increasing foot traffic for existing local businesses.

Local support and participation

Property owners of the Bennion Craft building have expressed full support for the plan, noting the potential for economic growth and increased activity. Residents interested in participating in the campaign can do so via the Trader Joe's website.

Additional Kaysville City updates

In addition to the retail campaign, Kaysville City has announced several other updates, including the appointment of Jaysen Christensen as the new City Manager. The city is also implementing a Landscape Lawn Exchange program with the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District and managing various infrastructure projects, such as construction on the Burton Lane Roundabout and parking lot improvements at East Wilderness Park.
