Midwest Vs. New York City

• I visited two Trader Joe’s stores, one in Wisconsin and one in New York, to see how they compared.
• The prices for most items were the same at both locations.
• The Trader Joe’s in New York was much more crowded and featured two stories of groceries.

Since moving from Wisconsin to New York City over 10 years ago, I’ve become a die-hard Trader Joe’s fan because of the store’s low prices and quirky items.

During a recent visit to my Wisconsin hometown, I visited the local Trader Joe’s store to compare the prices, items, and experiences with one of the chain’s busiest locations on 72nd Street in Manhattan.

Take a look inside both stores.
