Trader Joe's is a chain of specialty grocery stores with a location in North Chico that came to town with much anticipation. It was on the wish list of many in Chico who were familiar with the chain. It did not come without some controversy, though, as many feared that the large chain would take business away from local stores such as S&S Produce and Chico Natural Foods.
They are known for having relatively low prices for their own house brand items. For example, their private label Charles Shaw wine sells for $2 per bottle, and has earned itself the nickname "Two Buck Chuck" as a result. In addition to groceries and beverages, they have some household goods such as cleaning supplies, hygiene products, and supplements.

Also, they sell Clif bars at 99 cents a pop — Save Mart sells them for $1.50 and don't have near the variety. Wow. Can't beat 1L of Olive Oil for $4.99 either! —RyanMikulovsky
