Trader Joe's
Interesting write up in the NY Times about Trader Joe's:
The stores are small, the selection is uneven and the corporate culture can be described as dorky. But because its products are often not available anywhere else; because they mysteriously appear, disappear, then reappear on the shelves; or perhaps simply because they often taste very, very good, Trader Joe's has become tremendously popular among Americans who like to be entertained and educated by what they eat, as well as nourished by it.
For those who aren't familiar with TJs, or who aren't lucky enough to have a store in their area, Trader Joe's has been around since the 70s. For the 20 or so years that I lived in LA, I was thrilled to have one in my neighborhood. They're eclectic, but man do they have the goods at a reasonable price. Their introduction of "Two Buck Chuck" a few years back created a huge buzz. They've done a fantastic job with their private label products, too.
Read the article for more on these great stores. Thanks to John for the link! If you have a cool news story to share, email me, just don't forget to take out the REMOVETHESEWORDS from the email address that are there to prevent spam.
