There is a legend, passed down many generations and told over the centuries about the origins of one of today's oldest lasting institutions: the Trader Joe's.

Listen well, as I shall spin for you a tale that you will not soon forget about the mighty Grocer Wars, and how they changed the course of history as we know it.
