Trader Joe’s first opened in 1967. The grocery store chain has a gained a cult following by being well, weird.
One way this manifests is, Trader Joe’s hires crew members (grocers) with artistic talent to paint and letter their in-store murals and signs.
These murals and signs are unique to the specific location of the store. Each Trader Joe location customizes their interior signage based on the city they’re in.
A posted job listing for a sign artist read like this:
If you have experience in art including penmanship, working with chalk and large signage, we’d love to meet you. We can teach you the rest.
