What's Missing in Dearborn? Trader Joes, Outback?

We asked Patch readers what they would like to see in Dearborn.

We recently asked Dearborn Patch readers, if you could pick any business to locate in Dearborn, what would it be and why?

We got plenty of good answers.

Sarai Abdul-Kariem commented "definitely Trader Joe's. We need to send in emails. If enough people write in, TJs will take a look at it."

Linda Scharf Brazier posted, "no way .......west born is much better then Trader joes....what we need here in Dearborn like the good ole days is the Quality of life .....its going down the tube ....look at the mess along the main streets and neighborhoods today what a shame."

AndreaVH  commented "Love to see an Aldi's, an Irish Pub with real Irish food, Costco, some bookstore to replace the empty Border's books on Ford Rd., maybe a Little Professor's store, that I greatly miss, and an Outback's steakhouse would be nice too! :) I miss when we had a Mervyn's on Ford Rd...loved that store!"

Many others commented on the Dearborn Patch Facebook page.

Wendy Chang  said "A couple of decent brunch spots that serve alcohol. We always have to hit downtown, Ferndale or other nearby cities."

Kathleen A. Fitzpatrick commennted, "Movies live music ice skating skate park better clothes shopping."
