Contact made with the following businesses suggested by readers

We blogged on Patch and asked on our Facebook.com page what businesses would Affton residents support in Affton. Obviously it won't do any good to have businesses move here if the residents won't support them. If you want to write to any of these businesses, let me know and I will post their corporate addresses. Keep in mind when you suggest businesses that they have to fit on the smaller property we have in Affton. A problem also, and one we cannot control is that the owners of some of the good locations along Gravois want a ridiculous amount of money for their property. Only a business with very deep pockets can afford to buy those properties. Here's the list of the companies to which we sent letters:
Monkey Joe's; Joe's Crab Shack (not interested); Great Harvest; REI; America's Drive In Brand Properties LLC; Starbucks Corporate Office; The TJX Companies, Inc.; Trader Joe's Company Inc.-not interested); Wendy's International, Inc.; Dunkin Breads, Inc.; Dollar Tree, Inc.; Chuck E. Cheese; Chick-Fil-A Inc.; Sheridan's Frozen Custard; Whole Foods; Planet Subs; First Watch Restaurants; Fro Yo; Pint Size Bakery & Coffee; Checker's Drive In; Orange Leaf; Kohls Corporate Office; Dots Corporate Office; Dippin Dots Corporate Office; Harbor Freight; Ross Dress for Less; Krispy Kreme; Mc Callister's Deli; Claim Jumper; Mc Donalds; Five Below; Mimi's Café; Hardee's Food Systems Inc.; Once Upon A Child; Red Robins Gourmet Burgers; Chipotle; Burger King; Prestige Portraits; Primary Eyecare; Kenrick Antique Mall; Payless; Gator Apple LLC; Doherty Enterprises; Wendy's;  Menards; Fresh Thyme Farmers Market; & Lion's Choice
