| - When I want to buy unique food in a small store, sometimes I trade with Joe. Because this location is near my apartment, I have been trading my money for unique food lately. It is a location at the southeast corner of Green Valley Parkway and Sunset Road that shares a parking lot with Weiss Kosher Deli, the US Post Office, Doller Tree, and other retailers that also creates a convenience store for unique food.
This tropical-themed store is small on footage but large on selection. When you walk in, the produce and deli meats are to the right. At the back wall are dairy items. There are approximately four aisles laid out in a southwest to northeast orientation. According to Wikipedia, the average Trader Joe's stocks about 4,000 items. This includes specialty foods, produce, organic foods, vegetarian foods, wines, and at this location beer. When you are about to walk out, you pay at checkout lanes named after the local roads. For example register 1 would be Green Valley Parkway and register 2 would be Sunset Road.
I typically visit Trader Joe's after work. I will be in the shopping center doing errands or hanging out in Dylan's. Before getting in my car, I will pick up some items at Trader Joe's. Their blackberry juice is the bomb. I don't know any supermarket selling it. Their frozen foods chicken & vegetable wonton soup and chicken chow mien would make a microwave meal in my apartment 3.5 stars on Yelp. The chicken noodle soup features the chunky noodles that my tastebuds highly approve of. I enjoy their onion ring chips and cheddar & horseradish potato chips. When I want to attempt to be the chef at cooking my version of eggplant parmesan, their eggplant and onions were quality and competitively priced. The only flaw is they failed to stock margarine and spread. Their butter is $ $. With that said, Trader Joe's is not one-stop shopping. Just unique-stop shopping. But, Trader Joe's does charge rock bottom prices on cold bottles of water that start at 17 cents.
The shopping environment is friendly here. This urgency to be in and out that is common in the large supermarkets is replaced by people enjoying the experience of buying these items. I am one of the customers deciding what to try next. The employees are friendly. It is my understanding they earn $10 to $20 an hour. The old saying is that you get what you pay for. The upshot is that the employees talked to me when I paid for my items and even remember me as the customer that buys the blackberry juice.
As it stands, I will trade with Joe again. The store is near my apartment and convenient to my errands. Come to think of it their ice cream sounds good. Their chocolate chip cookies sound really good. And their frozen pizza sounds fantastic. Yeah, I'll definitely be back :-)
