ICYMI: Why Doesn't Trader Joe's Have a Loyalty Program Jan 02, 2023

Show notes

We get this question all the time, and it's a good one. The truth is, once you start to think about "loyalty programs," you quickly realize there's nothing in them to promote loyalty. They're just ever-so-slightly-disguised ways to collect data about your purchases. We look at loyalty with a significantly different lens. Tune in to the latest in our series of bite-sized episodes, ITJ ICYMI, to get the scoop.

Episode 57: Trader Joe's Wine Wonderings Nov 07, 2022

Show notes

Wine makes people nervous. We get it. But it doesn't have to be that way. Like the rest of your TJ's shopping experience, we think buying wine should be a fun and feel like an adventure. So, when you go to your neighborhood Trader Joe's looking for a bottle of wine, and you don't know exactly what you're looking for… don't panic! There are knowledgeable Crew Members there who can help. They taste the wines, they know which wines taste great with which foods, and they're always happy to make suggestions. We had the opportunity to chat with a couple of those folks, who shared bunches of information about how we approach wine at Trader Joe's. Have a listen, then head to your TJ's and find the ideal bottle of vino for that party next weekend, a gift for a special someone, or dinner tonight!
