“I’m new to podcast listening and I love Trader Joe’s, so this has been a fun show to discover out of the gates. The hosts are fun and you can tell that they love working at Trader Joe’s!
Also I read the book “Becoming Trader Joe” and it is fabulous!”

“This is one my favourite podcast, I love how they talk about the new products, the quality and how they take you behind the scenes of our favourite supermarket.
The only downside? I wish this was a weekly podcast! 😊😊😊”

“This podcast singlehandedly turned a TJs fan into a skeptic. They don’t even try to mask that they’re simply pushing their products and storyline to create a synthetic narrative. Every episode is just a long commercial. What a missed opportunity.
Also, am I the only one who wants to barf every...”Read full review »

“Entertaining podcast that’s very informative about a place I watched go from wine, cheese, chocolate, nuts to the place it is today! You can step into any TJ and feel like you are home.”

“I’ve enjoyed shopping at Trader Joe’s but the warm vibe of this podcast does NOT match all the Union busting the company is doing. Very disappointed in this company, the hosts who are high up members of the TJ’s team, and all involved. Bummed I’ll have to stop shopping at a store I love until...”Read full review »

“I love TJ and this podcast, but the most recent ICYMI episode where you discussed salt in your products was slightly irritating. The “salt was one of the first preservatives” line felt like a cop out. It’s not a secret that salt makes things taste better, but it’s also not a secret that a diet...”Read full review »

“I haven’t seen a new episode in months eve though i see an appearance of a new post it’s always the same one. It’s also not user friendly because I haven’t been able to find actual new episodes in a past episode listing. I loved the content but never finding the new episodes is annoying”

“I have been a fan of TJ’s except for the use of plastic. I’ve always been VERY confused as to why a company that began in Pasadena, California uses such a disgusting, toxic to our bodies, our oceans, our animals and planet: PLASTIC. There are so many other options that are much less expensive and...”Read full review »

“I heard from an employee at TJ when I was shopping one day that every TJ greeting card artist, who has their cards for sale in the stores, gets to keep EVERY penny from their greeting cards sales!! I loved that so much!

“Updating my review with a suggestion =)
How about opening “Trader Joey’s!”
I live 40 minutes from Trader Joe’s and it would be great for Trader Joe’s to take over some small empty businesses with an even smaller store with local favorite Trader Joe’s products…
Oh please do! =)
I really enjoy...”Read full review »

“Trader Joe’s can take meaningful steps right now to decrease single-use plastic packaging, including:
-Selling fruits and vegetables without plastic clamshells, bags, wrappers, and trays.
-Offering dry goods like beans, rice, flour, pasta, cereal, coffee, tea, spices, salt, sugar, and more in...”Read full review »

“Love your store and your vibe but seriously—what are you doing to evolve beyond wrapping everything in plastic? It’s corporate infrastructure that is at odds with your hip, healthy ethos. Thanks for taking this important problem seriously.
