Inside Trader Joe's

At Trader Joe's, we take product quality, freshness, and value very seriously. In every part of the store, every day. So, when we sat down with a couple of our Category Managers to talk about how they approach freshness and quality, as well as innovation and great taste, there was a lot to discuss. In this episode we're up close and personal with our Fresh and Deli folks. What's the difference between Fresh and Deli? Listen in and find out. We're also sharing some sneak peaks into some new products you'll be seeing in our refrigerated cases… very soon.

In this episode of Inside Trader Joe's, we're traveling to Sonoma, deep in the heart of California's wine country, where some of our favorite sparkling wines are carefully crafted and bottled.
