they treat their employees poorly..they are a huge mega company making tons of money. that s not so bad, but I think they have good PR. But, the fact remains, they are not very progressive in temrs of their values. again, good at PR but they are very bottom line and staff are easy to replace and work till they are totally burned out.

Most of the items they have are just so-so. Some are good, I’ll give them credit for their pricing. Why dont they pass along some of their ricches to their hard working staff?

Maybe people should stay in CA if they miss TJs so much.

I have a dear friend who worked at a TJ’s for awhile and told me something I find very upsetting. First of all, I do love the stores and shop regularly in them, but she said at the end of the day so much food is thrown away. Why? Every city, every town has a food bank, for goodness sake. She said the amount of food actually disposed of each day is huge! For a company that considers itself community oriented, I find this very odd. Any explanations from anyone working from the company?

Take heart all you Floridians … I have some great news for you Trader Joe’s fanatics, like myself. A warehouse facility is in the works in Atlanta. Once it’s completed, it’s just a matter of time and they’ll be heading south from there. The warehouse will supply the southeastern seaboard. Hopefully, they won’t forget us in the Fort Myers, Bonita Springs & Naples areas. We desperately need the quality and pricing second to none!!! Can’t wait to be able to once again shop for great foods. I used to work for TJ’s in Massachusetts … great job, great benefits, great people, fabulous offerings!!! I’ll be the first in line to sign on to work there again doing food demonstrations. Let’s keep our fingers crossed & pray.

Please open a Trader Joe’s in Boise, Idhao. We are moving there in droves from California and cannot bear losing our TJ’s . I am a regular customer in the S.F bay area, I live very close to a great Trader Joe’s and will be moving to Boise very soon.

We need TJ’s down here in the Bonita Springs, Naples, Fort Myers area of Florida. So many of us are crying out to have this store part of our community. Our friends have to send us “care packages”!!!!
Need to send Corporate Headquarters tons of mail.

Reading the posts, I feel bad for those who have no TJ’s in their city. I guess I’m spoiled in San Francisco. I thought walking a mile to the wharf TJ’s and taking the $5.00 trolly up the hill was an inconvenience, so I was considering requesting a new store be built where Cala Foods is closing, down a block from me. After reading these posts, I realize there are other’s in dire need and perhaps I shouldn’t request TJ’s to build a 4th store in San Francisco — because it wouldn’t be fair.

I second LIZ! Miami / South Florida desperately needs a TJ’s! No matter what city I go to I check to see if there’s a TJ’s anywhere in close proximity. I know all 3 TJ’s in Vegasm have been to many in CA, MA, CT, MD and others. When I hit one while on a trip, gosh knows if something happens to the plane and we survive, we’d survive on the food I always bring back in my suitcase and on board luggage. Should anyone be coming to visit Miami from an area that has a TJ’s they KNOW they better ask what I need before they come down.

I promise, I’ll be your best customer

Trader Joes has no GMO’s, per a Greenpeace update from more than a year ago.

I am dissapointed that they discontinued their Papaya Nectar, which was always very good, but are continuing to sell their Mango Nectar, which the last two times I tried it tasted rotten (and there were black spots on the bottoms of the bottles to boot).

Trader Joes should consider Montgomery, AL. It is an area primed for such a store.

Would TJs sell items in bulk to individuals? I’m looking to fill containers full of non-perishable TJ products for shipping overseas. Would a store give me problems if I just went in and started clearing out shelves?
