About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Trader Joe’s, a regular once overheard a delivery driver whispering to himself, ‘I think I just saw someone put an entire crate of kiwis in their basket.’ A few minutes later, another customer casually asked, ‘Excuse me, do you know where they keep the bananas?’ The delivery driver nodded and whispered back, ‘They’re right next to the kiwi section.’ A regular nearby chuckled and muttered, ‘Guess he wasn’t joking after all!’
2. At Trader Joe’s, one day a sign appeared in the produce section: ‘Apples are people too—please don’t judge them by their peels.’ Employees started laughing when they saw customers trying not to smile back. Soon after, another sign popped up near the cheese counter: 'Cheese has feelings too—try cutting it with kindness.' A delivery driver overheard an elderly lady whispering, 'I think I'll just stick to my ol’ butter, dear.' It became a daily ritual for employees to secretly place signs around the store, watching customers' reactions with amusement.
3. At Trader Joe’s, a delivery truck parked next to the store one morning had an unusual passenger—a small dog peeking out from under the hood. Employees and customers watched as the little canine seemed to wave hello before scurrying off into the nearby park. It turned out that the little guy was just a neighborhood stray who liked hanging around trucks for warmth. Soon enough, a concerned neighbor brought him some food, and he became quite the local celebrity—everyone would stop by Trader Joe’s just to say hi. The delivery driver even started bringing him treats in his lunchbox. Moral of the story? Sometimes the best finds are those you least expect.
4. At Trader Joe’s, a regular noticed that every Wednesday, exactly at closing time, the cashiers would leave through the staff entrance—carrying boxes of unopened snacks. Nobody knew where they were going or what happened to those treats. Curious, our regular followed one night and found them handing out free samples to homeless people down the street. Turned out, it was just Joe’s way of giving back. Now everyone knows why he’s such a legend around here.
