Episode 7: We're Nuts About Wine and Cheese Sep 24, 2018

Show notes

Trader Joe's has been selling nuts, wine, and cheese since our even-humbler beginnings. In this episode of "Inside Trader Joe's," we explain which nuts our customers are the most nutty about. We recommend some cheeses you may not have tried. And we reveal which wines are, we believe, the best in the store – at any price.

Show notes

When it comes to quality, Trader Joe's sets a high bar… way above what the law requires. In this episode, we explain what's in the food, what's not, and what will never be. So if you're avoiding artificial flavors, added sugar, GMOs, or MSG, or think maybe you should, this episode is for you. Also, a new "mask" that could be fun for Halloween, and just happens to be great for moisturizing year round.

Episode 4: The Store Is Our Brand May 01, 2018

Show notes

Oh sure, we could sell your favorite Trader Joe's products online, but that's not who we are. We could collect data about you, but that's really not who we are. We strive to make shopping at Trader Joe's an enjoyable experience, a fun adventure. For many, a Trader Joe's store has long been the place to buy wine, and they ask us, "How do you do it – offer such great wines at such great prices?" We'll show you the secret on a trip to Napa Valley, California. And why are Trader Joe's Crew Members so happy, anyway? The answer is surprisingly simple. Also, the inspirational advice that one customer gave TJ's CEO.

Episode 3: Informative and Seriously Not Too Serious May 01, 2018

Show notes

Informative and Seriously Not Too Serious – That's always our goal at Trader Joe's. We want our Crew Members and Customers to find it easy and fun to explore our stores, discovering everything from unique international fare and American basics, to vegan, to gluten-free, and low carb options. We'll explain why Trader Joe's Fearless Flyer has been called "a cross between MAD magazine and Consumer Reports." And we'll try some delicious bites at the Demo Station, because the best way to be informed is to taste for yourself. We bravely reveal some of our biggest product failures. And we ask our Crew Members the important question, "How many Hawaiian shirts do you own?"

Episode 2: It's About Values May 01, 2018

Show notes

At Trader Joe's, values aren't just great deals on great products. They're also the values we live by, every day in every neighborhood store. We'll share the ways we put those values into practice when we take you inside our (top-secret) Tasting Panel, where decisions are being made about what products to put on Trader Joe's shelves. Then, Joe himself (yes, there is a Trader Joe) helps explain how it all began… including why we wear those oh-so-stylish Hawaiian shirts.
