Joseph Coulombe started Trader Joe’s in 1967 for “overeducated, underpaid” shoppers, and thus got in front of the big socioeconomic turn of the past fifty years: the explosion of U.S. higher education, and the wage curve falling off the productivity curve. https://t.co/ysA4RIWCEq

R.I.P. #traderjoe! Don't we often wonder why we loved #TraderJoes so much? I got my answer from Joe Coulombe who founded the store & envisioned it as “for overeducated and underpaid people, for all the classical musicians, museum curators, journalists,” https://t.co/TG0HDxzBOw

God rest his soul. You don’t know how much you love Trader Joe’s until there’s no longer one nearby. I’m on year 5 w/no TJ’s & will not remotely entertain anchoring in a city w/o one. In Pasadena you shop TJ’s &Big Lots w/a dash of Whole Foods❤️ https://t.co/I9yKcPvrfa
