For my local area I'd rank trader joe's second (in general groceries). First would be metropolitan market btw

>> No.17659874

No, TJ’s is just smaller.
It’s literally part of their business model and commonly taught in business classes.
A typical grocery store will have 10 brands of ketchup and 8 brands of mayo.
TJ will have 2. Maybe 3. And none will be major national brands.
It gives the customers the impression of the stocked products being a “curated offering”.
There’s always consumer-psychology involved in store design, but TJ takes it to another level. Another example is their open floor-freezers rather than the industry-standard door-freezers.

I shopped at Trader Joe's once because I heard it was a grocery store and my yuppie friends wouldn't shut up about it. I was really disappointed with how much stuff I had to find at other stores afterwards, I really don't see the point of ever going to Trader Joe's again.

Trader Joes is for wine aunts, aging homosexuals, mid-30s female "psychology" grad students on birth control, and other Bidenistas. They do have a few choice items, but the whole atmosphere is so cringey and culty, I'd sooner go shopping at the gas station.
