Trader Joe’s has many great products, but I’m truly impressed by the selection of plants and cut flowers. Potted plants include Tulips, Orchids, Poppies, Azaleas, Succulents, Cacti, Hyacinth, Tradescantia, Muscari, Iris, and more. And the cut flower selection is vast and colorful. Everything looks healthy...Read More

I've been shopping all Trader Joe's, wherever I visit family and move. So far, 8 locations. This one is the worst. But it's still basic. They just hire dishonest, jerks who use foul language and talk about customers badly in front of others. They pretend...Read More
