Best Grocery Store: Trader Joe’s
Trader Joe’s began as a small chain in the 1950s, under the name Pronto Markets. Today, the Trader Joe’s has evolved into a foodie’s playground with kind, helpful employees in Hawaiian t-shirts, low prices and most importantly, fresh produce, products made with natural ingredients and the Two-Buck Chuck wine. With seven locations across the South Bay, Trader Joe’s has proved itself a dependable staple in our community. — EK
