The Trader Joe's Shopping Experience


Listen Later

Leslie Price (A&F and Uniqlo) joins Devin and Andy again to talk about the Trader Joe’s shopping experience. Is TJ’s inspired by Tiki culture, nautical culture, or old-time whimsy? Do you know the meaning of the store bells? Has TJ's solved the issue of line stress? Has Trader Joe’s also done the impossible and made a store brand something that’s a good value and worth seeking out? Are you someone who sees the cart half-full of dairy, or half-full of lactose??
