The story of Trader Joe's began in 1958 as Pronto Markets. In 1967, the original founder Joe changed the name to Trader Joe's. It started putting innovative, hard-to-find, great-tasting foods in the private label "Trader Joe's" name and began cutting costs in order to save customers money. Not only does the store have a large selection of great-tasting grocery items and a huge wine department with exceptional values, it also features employees dressed in upbeat Hawaiian shirts. This Trader Joe's is located in the Algonquin Commons Shopping Mall.
