I grew up on Trader Joe’s when it was a local Los Angeles area small chain of shops in the 1980s.

Their model was a little different in those days when they would get a big supply of interesting food (eg, a french cheese) and sell it at cheap prices until it sold out (and that was the end of it). Now their offerings are more standardized but still offer lots of unique food products. It’s an especially wonderful place to shop if you keep a vegetarian, kosher, or vegan diet.
