About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Trader Joe’s, a regular once overheard a delivery driver whispering into his radio: ‘This place is cursed—everyone who shops here starts talking in rhymes!’ Soon enough, word spread like wildfire through the neighborhood. Every time someone visited Trader Joe’s, they’d come back humming nursery rhymes or reciting limericks. A neighbor joked, ‘Maybe it’s not the store, but our shopping cart wheels that need rhyming therapy!’ Eventually, people started leaving poetry notebooks near checkout lanes for others to enjoy—and before long, Trader Joe’s became known as the rhyme-friendly grocery store where everyone left with more than just groceries.
2. At Trader Joe’s, every Sunday after church, a little boy named Max would push his shopping cart through the aisles. One day, he stopped dead in his tracks when he saw a delivery driver carefully placing boxes of mysterious items on the shelves, muttering something under his breath. Max leaned closer and heard him whisper, ‘These organic kiwis are so sour they’ll make your tongue dance!’ The driver winked and continued his work. From that Sunday on, whenever someone asked Max why he always bought kiwis from Trader Joe’s, he’d just smile and say, ‘Because their taste makes my tongue do the hula.’
3. At Trader Joe’s, one morning a sign above the checkout aisle read: ‘If you see a unicorn in the dairy section, it’s not a glitch—just our latest limited edition!’ Later that day, an excited customer approached the cashier and asked if they could really buy a unicorn milk. The cashier smiled and replied, 'Ma’am, we don’t sell actual unicorns here, but if you’re lucky, maybe you’ll spot our next surprise!' A few days later, a delivery driver found a note on his truck: “Dear Driver, thanks for your service! Your smile brightened our unicorn dairy section.”
4. At Trader Joe’s, late one night, an employee noticed that the lights in the freezer section were flickering on and off like some secret Morse code. Curious, she followed the pattern home and found herself standing in front of her own refrigerator the next morning, puzzled. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver testing his new flashlight app. The next day, everyone got a good laugh when they saw him biking around with a giant phone stuck to his helmet.
