Trader Joe's

<p>In 1967, the original Trader Joe changed a small chain of Pronto Markets in Pasadena, California into Trader Joe's and soon had the crew don Hawaiian shirts. Since then, the quality of food and wine bears that expected by loyal California consumers.   </p> <p>Trader Joe's has made a commitment to eliminate added trans fats from all private label products along with artificial colors, flavors, preservatives and GMO ingredients.</p> <p>The store has its own special cuisine with grass-fed meats and imported greek yogurt and goat cheeses. Wines from California fill the shelves, along with products screened by purchasers adhering to guidelines customers expect with natural cleaners and grooming products.</p> <p>Trader Joe's is known for its freezers full of precious entrees such as mushroom medley and potato dishes as well as international contributions such as traditional Italian lasagna, True Thai Tom yam soup, German seeded rolls, French mini baguettes and boulangerie.</p>
