Ha. We have Trader Joe’s. F*** Whole Foods.
“We have Trader Joe’s.”
That will probably be eaten up soon——we seem to be on track towards having just a couple of dozen big companies in the entire country.
Frightening.

Trader Joe’s has never seemed like a competitor to Whole Foods. I have never purchased any meat or produce at a Trader Joes, whereas that’s the main reason to go to Whole Foods.
Trader Joes seems like an overgrown wine specialty store to me. It’s fantastic at Christmas when you are constantly having guests and want to impress them with 19 varieties of crab stuffed mushrooms, but don’t actually want to cook.
I can’t imagine doing straight-up grocery shopping there.
I could imagine it at Whole Foods if I had a net worth in the tens of millions.
Sprouts is a really cool store.
