We get questions all the time. Questions like, why are your parking lots so… unique? Why did you discontinue my favorite product? What’s it like to work at Trader Joe’s? We have this tendency to just assume people know this stuff, because we live it, every day. So we’re launching a series of mini episodes we’re calling ITJ ICYMI: Inside Trader Joe’s In Case You Missed It. For the first ICYMI, What’s It Like to Work at Trader Joe’s?

Episode 88: Trader Joe’s Goes to Modena, with Vim and Vinegar 25:51

לפני 20 hours25:51

25:51

There are certain foods that are synonymous with their place names. Parmigianno Reggiano. Kalamata Olives. And the focus of this episode, Balsamic Vinegar of Modena. A world-renowned product with a long and fascinating history, Balsamic Vinegar of Modena is produced exclusively in the Modena region of Italy. In this episode we sit down (and do a bunch of walking!) with one of Modena’s largest and most respected producers of this vigorous vinegar – they’ve been supplying Trader Joe’s for decades – where we learn some history and get a behind-the-scenes look at how it’s made. Listen in for a sneak peak at a new TJ’s product coming soon to your neighborhood Trader Joe’s. Trasncript (PDF)…

ICYMI: Does Trader Joe's Do Retail Media? 6:55

לפני 15 ימים6:55

6:55

We get a lot of questions at Trader Joe’s. And we see things in the news that make us ask questions, too. Recently, we’ve seen a bunch of stories about so-called “Retail Media.” So what the heck is Retail Media, and does Trader Joe’s do it? In a nutshell, Retail Media is all about using screens and media and technology in retail stores, ostensibly to replace humans. That doesn’t make sense to us – instead of investing in technology and media resources to tell our stories, in our stores, we invest in our people and our products, so every experience you have with Trader Joe’s is a great one. Tune in to the latest in our series of bite-sized episodes, ITJ ICYMI, to get our take on Retail Media. Transcript (PDF)…

Episode 87: A List for Springtime Shopping at Trader Joe's 29:01

לפני 29 ימים29:01

29:01

It’s nearly spring. And at Trader Joe’s, that means new products popping up like flower buds after an early thaw. In this episode of Inside Trader Joe’s, we’re getting up close and personal with a baker’s dozen of our favorite new (and returning) things for spring. Looking for Easter candy and treats? You’ll find them here, and you’ll be impressed not only with how they look, but how they taste. A new Mini Sheet Cake that happens to be gluten free? Oh. Yes. Potato chips made with Irish potatoes and butter? Aye. A new blend of greens to elevate your salad game and a pasta sauce that’s simple, elegant, and extraordinarily delicious? Well… yes. Would you believe a wine made with oranges? You should believe, and you should try it. One last thing… no bunnies were harmed in the making of this episode. Transcript (PDF)…

9:49

Welcome to another episode of the Trader Joe’s Wine Club, brought to you by Inside Trader Joe’s. In this sip-sized segment, we’re going grass-roots – or at the very least, grass-noted – with a conversation about New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. More specifically, we’re highlighting Raorao Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region, an area on the South Island renowned for this varietal (among others). This wine is an excellent expression of Marlborough Sauv Blanc – a quick listen here will reveal what makes this wine so special, some delicious pairing ideas, and what a tremendous value it is at Trader Joe’s.

Episode 86: Pie-ning for Pizza at Trader Joe's 25:30

לפני 8 weeks25:30

25:30

We often talk about traveling the world to find the most delicious products we can offer, so we can bring them to our customers at a great value. Decades ago, when we began our search for truly excellent frozen pizza, it occurred to us that maybe the best place to go was the birthplace of the stuff… Italy. Turns out we were right, and our frozen pizzas became the stuff of lore – they’re just that good. Our frozen pizza selection has evolved since those early days, yet some of our favorites still come from Italy. And perhaps even more striking, some of our favorites still come from the same supplier we serendipitously stumbled upon all those years ago. In this episode, we take you on a journey of pizza-rific proportions, visting this same Italian pizza producer and getting the inside scoop on how it all started, how they manage to make such delicious pies, and what the future may hold. Spoiler alert: the future is round, cheesy, and well-sauced. Transcript (PDF)…

Episode 84: Trader Joe's Snacky Hacks for Big Games and Awards Consideration 29:11

לפני 11 weeks29:11

29:11

As listeners of this podcast know, the Trader Joe’s mothership is located in Monrovia, CA. Monrovia is really close to one of the wildfires that’s devastated Southern California recently. We have a lot of Crew Members and customers who’ve been impacted by these fires, and we wanted to take a minute to send our best wishes to them and everyone who’s dealing with the aftermath of these events. We recorded this episode not too long ago in our other mothership, in Boston. It’s a little silly, and, we hope, fun. We could all use a little fun and silly right about now. Winter is jam-packed with snacking opportunities, and if updating your snack routine is on your 2025 agenda, listening to this episode of Inside Trader Joe’s should be atop your to-do list. Whether it’s a big game or a fashion-forward awards show, when people pop by, you need snacks! We sat down with some Crew Members in our other mothership in Boston to discuss their favorite “snacktivities” using Trader Joe’s products. They shared spicy hacks and savory hacks, simple hacks and slightly more involved hacks. What every snack hack has in common? Great taste and a near-100% guarantee of good times. Have a listen, then pay us a visit to pick up what you need to enjoy some snacktivities of your own. Transcript (PDF)…

In this seasonally inspired sip-sized segment, we’re focusing on those most festive wines, the sparklers.

Welcome to the premiere episode of the Trader Joe’s Wine Club, brought to you by Inside Trader Joe’s. There’s no membership fee and no shipping charges – and that’s because this isn’t an actual Wine Club. In these occasional, sippable episodes of Inside Trader Joe’s (there we go being all figurative again – you can’t really sip this episode), we’ll uncork some information about some of our favorite wines of the moment – like tasting notes, origin stories, and pairing suggestions. In this inaugural pour, we’re focusing on two wines we think will be right at home on any Thanksgiving dinner table. Transcript (PDF)…

Trader Joe’s has been a destination for winning wine finds since our earliest days, and more than 57 years into our journey, our stores remain a source of tremendous values on wines from the world’s best growing regions. In this episode of Inside Trader Joe’s, we sit down with four folks from our wine team who are doing the work, day after day, to find those wines and get them to our shelves. Grenache? Great. Champagne? ‘Course! Cabernet? Rosé? Okay, okay! Have a listen, then take a trip to your neighborhood Trader Joe’s wine section, where a Crew Member can help you find just the right bottle for any occasion. Transcript (PDF)…

Episode 80: What Makes a Neighborhood Trader Joe's? 20:17

לפני 22 weeks20:17

We all know that every neighborhood is unique. And because Trader Joe’s is a national chain of neighborhood grocery stores, every Trader Joe’s is as unique as the neighborhood of which it is a part. In this episode of Inside Trader Joe’s, we’re taking you inside two distinctive neighborhood Trader Joe’s stores, that just so happen to be in the same neighborhood. (Right? It’s amazing what a few blocks can do!) Starting with our original Back Bay store in Boston – the smallest Trader Joe’s in the known universe – and traveling almost five blocks away to Boston’s newest TJ’s (also in the Back Bay), it’s plain to see that every store is a reflection of its surroundings – the customers, the Crew, and the physical space it inhabits. And a super-exciting bonus – we’re learning about stand pipes and rack rooms! Yes! Transcript (PDF)…

We get a lot of questions at Trader Joe’s. One of those we hear the most is, “Hey, when are you opening a store in my neighborhood?” And “How do you decide where to put a Trader Joe’s?” – that comes up a lot, too. As you can imagine, like Trader Joe’s stores themselves, choosing store locations isnot a one-size-fits-all approach. Truth is, we’d like to be in thousands of neighborhoods all across the country – and it’s going to take some time.

And even, Regular Fries or Sweet Potato Fries? What’s in YOUR cart? Transcript (PDF)…
