One of the most important specialty grocery producers is Trader Joe's. Leading a very important store chain, the company headquarter is located in California, Monrovia. Registered in August 2010 with 344 stores, Trader Joe's presents half of its great stores in California. Besides California, the company spread its units in 24 more states including Washington.

Founded in 1958, the first Trade Joe's specialty grocery store developed quite fast in a store chain. The recorded success was possible due to the Americans' desire to get better food products than the ones provided by the supermarkets of that time. Trade Joe's offered to Americans various delis and high quality products. Soon, the owner developed a sandwich line providing freshly made sandwiches accompanied by great drinks such as the freshly squeezed orange juice.

Unlike any other specialty grocery store, Trader Joe's always presents around 4,000 items. Most of them are wearing its name, as it is the only producer and / or distributor of the best gourmet, organic, frozen, vegetarian, domestic and imported foods. As well, it also offers a wide range of local and imported alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages such as beers and wines, coffee, juices and so on. Besides various food items, it proudly provides personal hygiene, vitamin and household products.

Most items presented on Trade Joe's shelves are eco-friendly. By providing such a big volume of products, it is able to maintain very low prices as the items usually come en gross. For this reason, it always gets great deals. This way, it is able to purchase different products or raw materials at much lower rates than any other competitor does. The low price is the surest method of getting great returns of investment. Any Trade Joe's specialty grocery store provides very big profits to the company as it offers great prices for its customers; thanks to this thing, people are buying more products. The result is found in much faster turns around time and the cycle continues with more buyers satisfied by its fresh products.

This way, by respecting simple methods in its first shops, Joe Coulombe, the founder of such an impressive chain, had demonstrated us that everything is possible. Today, the marketing team diversifies the renowned brand on different food categories: Trader Jose's for the Mexican food, Trader Ming's for Chinese food, Trader Giotto's for the Italian food and so on. Even though Trader Joe's is not present in Europe, few of its branded items have started to shyly appear in some stores such as Aldi is. We just hope that its great products are going to appear in different other worldwide stores so we can also enjoy the best quality.
