Two hundred Trader Joe’s orders were picked up at Tulsa’s Young Professionals’ pop-up shop Saturday in the Brady District.
The pop-up shop was part of the inaugural “Bring It To Tulsa” campaign that focused on efforts to attract a full-service grocery store to downtown.
“The community has responded unimaginably,” said Hillary Parkhurst, 2013 TYPros chair Saturday, “We have a line into the street of people picking up their orders. Hopefully our efforts highlight the lack of grocery options in the downtown area.”
Nearly $7000 worth of Trader Joe’s products were ordered on TYPros’ online shop during the two-week span it was open.
