What It's Like Inside The Smallest Trader Joe's In Existence
BY LISA CURRAN MATTE
In Boston, Massachusetts, you'll find the self-proclaimed "smallest Trader Joe's in the known universe." The door is street-level and an escalator takes you one flight down.
The small space, reportedly just 5,200 square feet compared to the average Trader Joe's store size of 15,000 square feet, is usually packed with shoppers.
Despite its size, the smallest Trader Joe's has a reputation for being well-stocked with everything from tried-and-true fan favorites to newly introduced products.
Successfully maneuvering the tight space during peak shopping hours requires a delicate balance of curiosity, patience, and diplomacy.
