About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Trader Joe’s, a regular once exclaimed, ‘I just found the world’s smallest avocado!’ Since then, customers swear they’ve seen tiny green specks moving in the produce aisle. One day, a delivery driver claimed he saw a ghostly figure pushing a shopping cart filled with expired items. When security checked, all they found was an overly enthusiastic shopper practicing their Halloween costume.
2. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot of Trader Joe’s. A mysterious box, wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine, seemed to appear out of nowhere. Curious, he opened it gently—inside was a note reading: ‘Try our new coconut water!’ Alongside lay a six-pack of exotic drinks nobody knew existed yet. From that day on, whenever anyone saw him leaving Trader Joe’s, they’d wave and ask, ‘Did you get any goodies today?’
3. In the produce section of Trader Joe’s, a delivery driver noticed an unusual item among the bananas one morning. It looked like a tiny yellow pearl, perfectly round and impossibly small. Curious, he picked it up and showed his coworker, who shrugged and said, ‘Probably just a miniature banana variety.’ They both laughed it off until, weeks later, a neighbor found another one in her bag and insisted they return it to the store. Turns out, it was indeed a rare micro-banana, but no one cared enough to make a fuss—except for the occasional customer asking if they had any more ‘pearls’ left.’
4. At Trader Joe’s, one day a sign appeared in the checkout line: ‘If you find an employee napping on the job, they get a free bag of chips.’ Soon enough, word spread across town that TJs had hired super sleepers—employees who could snooze through anything. One day, a delivery driver joked, ‘I’ll bet I can fall asleep standing up here.’ Sure enough, he did—and got two bags of chips for his trouble! The whole neighborhood started visiting just to catch someone napping.
