Quad Citizens Really Want Two Very Different Businesses

Earlier this week, I asked the Book of Faces what businesses you would like to see come to the Quad Cities. The top two answers are very different vibes indeed, but I too wouldn't hate to see either of them come around.

The question I posed on Facebook was this:

The number one answer (as of now anyway) is Trader Joe's. I do love a good Trader Joe's trip, I had one nearby when I lived in Nashville. It's like Target for me: I walk out with more stuff than I walked in to get. They have good almond butter and chocolate-covered stuff.

Coming in at number two is Dave & Buster's. Sharp jump from Trader Joe's, no? But there's no need to be too salty: you can still get the arcade bar night out, check out Analog Arcade Bar in downtown Moline or downtown Davenport.

Also on the list are:

• IKEA (I'm not putting that stuff together.)
• Any 24-hr restaurants like Bojangle's or Waffle House (for shift workers. Makes sense)
• Meijer (a grocery store)
• Whole Foods (another great spot)
• Cheesecake Factory
• Texas Roadhouse (to the IL side)
• Ramen Belly
• A boba tea spot in Bettendorf
• White Castle
• World Market (love this treasure trove too)
• Pot Belly's
• Bass Pro or Cabela's (I am honestly surprised there's not one.)
• Whataburger
• Giordano's
• In and Out
