Trader Joe’s: Best Grocery Store
With more than five locations in the South Bay, it’s hard to drive anywhere without finding a Trader Joe’s close to your home. 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, and products made with natural ingredients. The trendy specialty retail grocery store features fresh, organic produce, frozen food of every variety and their famous “Two Buck Chuck”(Charles Shaw wine). They even have a flyer at checkout with recipes, meal ideas and featured products.
