I didn't really know this, but the general store manager at Trader Joe's locations are called "the Captain. Each store has only one Captain and if you notice the clerks are "crew members". The Captain was running our cash register upon a recent check out. I liked that he just pitched in where needed, but it is evident that he enjoys customer interaction The culture of the TJ's is carefully crafted. I saw an analysis, whether true or not it holds up, that crew members are trained in customer interaction such that they will do three things on check out. First is to ask if you found everything you needed. Next is to comment on an item you are purchasing - "looks like you are planning to cook spaghetti " or something like that. Third is to ask what else do you have planned for the day in an open ended question designed to engage positive interaction and conversation. Interesting! They now are featuring the fall flavors. Pumpkin spiced everything and apple spiced everything. Try the apple pie spread on toast and the apple cider donuts. read more

Trader Joe's has the best service of grocery stores. They actually answer their phones on holidays. The food is usually tasty. Ambiance was festive. read more

Trader Joe's - Stickers! Happy 4th - Grocery Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

What's not to love about Trader Joe's? For starters, help is EVERYWHERE. If you are looking for a worker, they are on every aisle and always ready to go above and beyond to find what you need or answer questions. Next, the potato chips alone are reason enough to go there. What's so special about plain potato chips? Well, if you don't know, then you just haven't tried them yet. Some of my other favorites are the sun dried tomatoes in oil and fresh flour tortillas. My daughter loves the section of dried fruits, especially the mangos. And why no on else can make salted pecans taste as good as TJs? I'll never know. If you love succulents or other plants, they've got em! If you love healthier snack foods - look no further. And when you are finished shopping, check out is a BREEZE - there are so many registers open and the workers are generally friendly and helpful. I even love the bags - brown paper bags with solid handles. Now, if only we could get a Trader Joe's in Travelers Rest so we don't have to go to Woodruff Road! That will be the day :-) read more

Sweetest staff ever! I'm a huge fan of their flower selection and they have some really great wine at a price you would be shocked by. My two golden/lab mixes absolutely LOVE their peanut butter dog treats as well. I'm that dog mama that will just go there to get them treats and it's worth all of the woodruff road traffic and more. read more

We love this place!! Their fresh flowers are always beautiful and they have the most unique foods!

This is one of our favorite places to shop for lovely, fresh produce, grape bread, lots of organic items. They have a great selection of fish, wild, caught, and not farm raised. read more

Trader Joe's - Nice produce - Grocery Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

One of the few Trader Joe's in the region, and thus a destination. The selection wasn't the biggest I've ever seen in such a store, and I notably failed to find the croutons and the precooked Thai noodles I liked and they were out of arugula, but there was plenty else worthy buying. Moreover, the shopping experience was good, and despite the crowds I had no wait to check out, a testament to TJ's reliably excellent procedures. And the prices were much better than the Whole Foods down the street, for not a whole lot worse selection in my view. read more

I mean, it's Trader Joe's...solid reputation and this location did not disappoint. I so wish we had a location near us. Food Selection - amazing produce, spices, snacks, and phenomenal premade frozen meals. I stocked up on the "Everyhting but the bagel" seasoning. Wine Selection - Similar quantity to a larger grocery store selection but there are some gems here. Famous for their 2-buck Chuck (Charles Shaw wine), which I see is up to $4.50 Chuck. The quality for that price is what makes it legendary. Staff - super friendly and helpful. One employee spent time to help me find some gluten free options for my daughter. A manager was walking around with big smile, greeting shoppers and spreading cheer. Trader Joe's rocks! read more

This place is always slammed back so I wish they'd open another location but I absolutely love Trader Joe's. I never really have a list when I go in but I love seeing all the new things they have. The prices on their beautiful flowers cannot be beat. I always recommend Trader Joe's for fun snacks and great gifts read more

Trader Joe's - .99¢ cards - Grocery Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Love Trader Joe's . My favorite place for groceries . Love their frozen foods as well as refrigerated prepared foods . No one has a better selection and prices are reasonable. Workers are always friendly. read more

I was in Greenville recently on a work trip, and this Trader Joe's was close to my hotel- a pleasant surprise when I wanted some snacks for the evening. Trader Joe's stores all have a local flavor, and this one's no different. The signs have the names of different towns in the area, such as Simpsonville, Traveler's Rest, etc. If those signs don't make you feel welcome, the courteous staff will. The workers I encountered all asked if I needed help, the checkouts weren't crowded, and the store has a large parking lot. The groceries are typical TJs fare, but I was able to get what I needed (Joe Joe's cookies!). Thanks Trader Joe's! read more

My absolute favorite grocery store! Always friendly, great service, and the healthiest foods. Thank you!

I am a huge fan of TJ. This location is in a major thoroughfare of major intersections and large stores, so add time for traffic. It is tucked behind a gas station (Speedway?) and near Home Depot and Target. I went once at 11 AM and 3 PM and it was bustling. Both times, after checkout, there was a line to enter. Hence not the full stars I normally give to this chain. All staff were friendly. I picked up a new offering, Ethiopian shade grown coffee beans. Not as good as their previous limited edition. This one is a darker roast, still good but not as fruit forward. As usual I picked up a case of wine and a selection of cheeses. I forgot how decadently good triple brie is. Just in time to salute a new chapter in American history. Cheers everyone! read more

Always love Trader Joe's people are friendly. Your products are unique and we really enjoy Fred Roberts Piedmont, South Carolina.

Highly recommend TJ's. I love their variety of frozen delights as well as all the sweet goodies they have. Great wine selection and wonderful cheeses. I just wish they would put one in Bradenton. read more

Always enjoy discovering new wines to share. The seasonal products are always fun. The staff is helpful and never make you feel as if you're in the way. They're always busy and I think the sweet spot is first thing in the morning. I always enjoy the choices of seasonal flowers and plants. read more

Great store. Lots of great items for a decent price. The staff is very friendly when asking where a product is or a question in general. I usually don't have to wait long in line. I get a little bit of everything here. Only thing I'm not crazy about is the parking lot. It's very small and can be a pain to get in to but otherwise this is a good store! read more

Trader Joe's is such a unique store. The prices are great! The layout of the store can make it difficult to find things if you're unfamiliar with Trader Joe's. There are colorful, eye catching signs throughout the store listing various deals. They have a nice selection of wine and beer. They have fresh assortments of flowers. The protein bars are much cheaper than at big box stores. This location even has a small selection of skin care--moisturizers and lotions. It's a great store to browse--you can definitely find deals. The sushi is prepared in-house. read more

Such a great store! Staffs were very helpful and I'm so happy they carry my favorite wine. Picked up some fresh flowers as well. Just love it! read more

I love Trader Joe's. Everything you get here is good. Right now they have their fall items out and I am loving it. The staff are very nice and helpful. I just wish the building itself was a little bigger. Its a small store and since it's a popular store it can get easily crowded. But, everyone gets their things and gets out quickly which is nice. I think we all have that mentality right now when shopping anyway because of covid. I love all their seasonal items right now. I just got pumpkin everything and it all tastes great! read more

Trader Joe's - a variety of food items on a table - Grocery Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

DOV: Sat., May 05 @ 6:45 pm My last review of this TJ's was over 2 years ago, so I guess it's time for a brief update. Not much has changed, really. I do notice that they are carrying a larger selection of organic foods than in the past, a necessity for keeping up with the times. My wife loves their jellies and jams and marmalades. She likes that they contain real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. I buy olive oil and wine (great prices) among other things. I'm glad TJ's is there. It offers a nice alternative to Whole Foods which is just up the street. Both are great grocers in their own right, but they are very different. Recommend. read more

Great store! Clean with friendly staff. Manager Kyle, Nikki, and Nancy are really cool! They're really into recycling here. A really cool staff member gave me a South Carolina Trader Joe as a gift since I'm visiting. Great samples and coffee. They gave out chocolate on Halloween. There's only one Trader Joe in the area. Glad its great. read more

I've really come to love this store lately. I'm on an apple kick, and their Jazz apples are the best. If you want to ensure you won't get a mushy apple, purchase a bag of these and enjoy! I also love the variety of pre-made dinner options and unique frozen food items. I dislike cooking for the most part, so shopping here makes lunch and dinner decisions much easier. The fact that Target is right across the street for all of the other items I need is a good thing, and if you can go early in the morning the traffic and crowds are nonexistent. read more

I'm so excited that TJ's is finally opening in G'ville! Excited about a grocery store, you ask? Well yes...yes I am. From kitchen basics, to items you can't find anywhere else, to cheap-but-yummy wine and beer you can't get anywhere else...TJ's has it all, and at prices often well below other grocery stores. Honestly...I'm tired of having to drive to Charlotte just to stock up. Thanks for opening in Greenville, TJ's! You bet I'll be there tomorrow to welcome you to the "neighborhood". read more

Trader Joe's - Opening day! - Grocery Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

I love Trader Joe's fresh flowers. You can't beat the prices. Stopped in to pick up their Apple Crisp Cider and some pumpkin tortilla chips & salsa. They have everything pumpkin this time of year. My favorite store bought cookie is Trader Joe's Chocolate chip sandwich cookies. They are so addictive. read more

Here are a few reasons why Trader Joe's is the best: * They have a taste-it-before-you-buy-it policy, meaning you can ask to sample something you aren't sure of before you make the purchase. I did this with their almond mozzarella cheese - most soy/dairy-free cheese I've tried has been terrible, but this stuff is actually really good! I buy several bags at a time now to make dairy-free pizza and other meals at home. * They have some amazing frozen food. I know how to cook so I don't buy a lot of frozen food, but with some of their products I can't help it. Their pork dumplings, for example, are a staple in my freezer. $3.99 for a bag of dumplings for 3 servings, I cook rice at home and use this as an easy, cheap, and delicious meal probably once a week. Some other favorites from the frozen section: chicken fried rice, orange chicken, belgian waffles, and their potato cakes. * You can get plenty of meals for less than $4. The most expensive meal I make from Trader Joe's is when I buy naan, gyro meat, tzatziki, and feta cheese, which is still maybe $12-14 and makes 4-5 gyros. Also their tzatziki-cucumber dip is great for gyros. * Cookie butter. It will change everything. * They have a newsletter with updated products and recipes! * No plastic bags * Really incredible desserts and beer/wine selection, all at low prices * I buy as much as possible dairy-free and they have a lot of options. They even gave printed guides at the front of the store that list out their vegan and gluten-free products. There isn't much to dislike about this store. If you're looking for a very specific name-brand item, this store isn't going to be helpful. But, if you can come without a shopping list, just look for a few things to try out and I'll bet you get as hooked as I have. read more

Lou is the best at the Greenville location! He was personable and so cute with my kids!

My favorite grocery store of all time! Employees are always helpful and wear their masks. Love trying the New Vegan things.

Another awesome Trader Joe's store. I was excited to find one so close to where we were staying. I wish we had one in Hickory NC where I live because that would be my go to store. read more

All I can say is they are the Chick Fil A of grocery stores!!! I never am disappointed when I shop here. The managers and workers know my face and are always offering me new products to try, sometimes even for free. The great thing about Trader Joe's is if their label is on the package, it is NON-GMO. You can't get any better than that. On top of that, anything you don't like, return for full refund no questions asked. The whole team here at TJ needs to get a nice, warm pat on the back for being ROCKSTARS!! I love shopping here. Check out this store if you haven't already done so! You won't be sorry! read more

Ok I've heard a lot about the variety and uniqueness of the items carried in this place but nothing truly inspired me to go until today. Seeking something off the beaten path we decided to shop here. First impression is everything and the entry way sets the tone of the employee engagement and friendliness of the staff. Lots of recognition and tributes celebrating their milestones outside of work. That's says a lot about their organization and taking care of their human capital as business America would state it. Good produce selection priced reasonably and not that weigh and pray moment at the checkout counter. Most veggies and produce price per item( a plus) so it minimizing the guess work. Lots of milk variety and every type of water imaginable if you're into the health and wellness world. The isle were clean and the veggies were healthy. Seeking the unique like broccoli chips and pre cooked garlic herb Brussels sprouts or imagine isles if gluten free products for those seeking alternatives for health reasons. It's an adventurous palette paradise. I'd highly recommend a visit. And the staff of yeah! Attentive and responsive as I definitely needed help locating items on my list. The cashier was great and comical as laughter soothes the soul. I'll will be back by the end of the week as I've found another retail location to shop. Lots of local flare giving homage to the local area and universities. It's like a hometown family filled grocery store for the laid back. Not that oh heck I must stop by the the store to pick up dinner feel. The only negative is PARKING!!! Located on one of the BUSIEST business streets in Greenville know that it's an obstacle course but the atmosphere of the store melts away that tension hopefully. We observed a car frenzy obstacle course in the parking area which was quite entertaining. If you can move past that, you'll enjoy your shopping experience. read more

Let me start by saying I'm a fan of Trader Joe's. I wasn't that impressed with this location. Now, these stores vary fro market to market. So, I went in looking for a hair conditioner that I'd purchased before at the Charlotte location. This conditioner is Peppermint and it makes your scalp feel amazing. I walked in and the store's beauty section was way smaller than I expected. They had a section of the aisle. Not even the entire aisle. Luckily, what I was looking for was there, but I was really looking forward to grabbing some more haircare goodies. The stock was limited and a staffer at the location said it really depends on what the customers buy that drives their inventory. That's understandable. So, next time I'll hit up my Columbia, SC location in hopes of a different experience. read more

Trader Joe's - Grocery Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Trader Joe's is my all time favorite grocery store, and I like grocery shopping ALOT! I've shopped at other natural/organic grocers, but no one beats the prices and hospitality at TJ's. I also love its location on Woodruff since I live off of Woodruff and am always driving up and down it multiple times a day. A few of my favorites are the bulk nut selections (esp raw varieties), their whole wheat pizza dough, pesto, honey wheat pretzels, awesome ice cream selection (love the s'more cookies right now) and their oatmeal honey soap (yum)! If you have not been in you should definitely do yourself a favor and go asap. See you there! read more

This was by far one of the cleanest TJ's I've been to. The help was very helpful and friendly. I went later in the evening, so the sample guy kept coming back to me and my friend giving us more samples. I do not have a TJ's in my area, so I always go in and stock up on a lot of special items my family likes, and there were in the alcohol dept. many things gone and out of stock. THAT was a bummer, but the help there just kinda makes you forget about that. This is a brand new location and 'm glad I checked it out. read more

Trader Joes has long been a favorite of mine. Today, Corrine congratulated me by getting me flowers because I mentioned my graduation. We usually purchase our addictions: animal crackers, dried fruits, sourdough bread, garlic salt, cookie sadwiches, Coconut milk and ice cream and diring holiday times the 5lb chocolate, advent calender and english toffee (omg, so good). Greenville tj is doing awesome. :) read more

This TJ's location is pretty fabulous. The store is not overly cramped and is easy to navigate through. And it doesn't matter which TJ's store I go to, the staff always seems friendly and willing to help you out. As is the usual for TJs, many of the products they sell are higher quality than the average store and often the same price or cheaper. I think they particularly have great deals on eggs, dairy products, cheese, coffee, nuts/trail mix, beer and wine. Many of their beer brands are high quality and cost less than other brands. Personally, their Stockyard Oatmeal Stout is as good as Guinnness and significantly cheaper. Their Trader Jose beer is better and cheaper than Corona, at least in my opinion. You can get some great bottles of wine here for less than $10, with some as cheap as even $6 or $7. While I'm not a huge fan of Four-Buck-Chuck (their Charles Shaw brand, which actually costs $4 a bottle), it's not bad, especially for their price. I know a lot of people who love it. If you are not much of a cook or you are just looking for some quick food, Trader Joe's has a fabulous selection of pre-made dinners in the deli area or frozen aisle. Some of them are affordable, some are a little pricey. You can get just about anything, from Asian, Italian, and Mexican. They make some pretty tasty read-to-cook pizza dough. You can also get fresh meat and frozen seafood here, but beware, these are a little pricey. Most of them, however, are hormone free and as natural as they can get. One final warning - this place has plenty of parking, but sometimes it is deceptive because it gets crazy busy. If you want to avoid the crowds, I suggest coming early. read more

I just had a wonderful shopping experience! I saw some great food. I an very pleased with my purchased. I will certainly be back again!! #happyshopper read more

Trader Joe's - The Best! - Grocery Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

We stopped by Trader Joe's with two items in mind and left with neither. It's a smaller store, so everything is easy to find, but they are a bit pricey. They do have a decent selection but we didn't see anything we couldn't find elsewhere. read more

AVOID THAT SEAWEED!! If you are in the area and need to stock up on provisions, this is a great option!. This appears to be a new store and it is certainly conveniently located on a major shopping strip. It is very similar to the Georgia stores except the aisles are larger, (good move) and it is open until 9pm on Sunday. This is a great place to find healthier snacks, fruit juice, adventurous snacks such as roasted seaweed and great produce. By the way, the roasted seaweed is absolutely disgusting! Don't do it! Just stick with the proven snacks and you'll be fine. read more
