I enjoy shopping at Trader Joe's so much. I wish they would open one in Gulf Shores, AL.

I've never been to a Trader Joe's before, but I had such an amazing experience thanks to Haley! She went above and beyond and helped me find everything I needed for my vegan friendly Thanksgiving. So impressed and thankful for the customer service I received!
10/10 | will definitely be back!!

Sometimes when I compare with Alabama's Summit Traders Joe's, I feel the store in Hoover is little disorganized. I personally need more organic stuff. Overall, very convenient and friendly.

I hope cashier Emily can treat every customer without prejudice, at least by saying 'Hi' or giving a smile. Most importantly, she broke my flowers, and I would rather spend an extra 10 minutes going back to 'summit'. I've been a customer there for 5 years and have always been treated kindly.

Food shopping at its best!! You arrive and see flowers outside. And since we're almost at Thanksgiving, there are natural wreaths, garlands, poinsettias and other Christmas greenery. And, reasonably priced. Then, to your left, great produce! Fresh, appealing, reasonably priced: salad mixes, vital greens, normal fruit and vegetables. But then--artichokes, cooked and fresh beats, endive, multi-colored carrots, huge portobello mushrooms, all kinds of mushrooms; reasonably priced. I'm in Cook's Heaven. Then, head to breads, uncured meats, cheeses and wine. Your holiday party will be the best ever; and you won't have to take out a loan!! On the service, I asked a team member about two cheeses I couldn't find. He took me to their in-store computer that shows current inventory. They are out, but cheeses coming in tomorrow. They had to pull the two French cheeses because of expiration date. "But", I said, "Cheeses don't expire, they continue to age, like wine". "Yes, I agree", he said. " But the grocery-buying public is used to following expiration dates; so we have the pull the products" Quel domage!

Finally made it out to the new Trader Joe's out near the Galleria. Pros: the parking is certainly easier than The Summit location, there's more space to navigate the aisles, shelves are shorter so you can see the vastness of the room more (idk what kind of Bond villain comment this is, but go with it), and this store is generally less crowded, I was here on a Saturday afternoon. Cons: the store seems to have a slightly smaller floral and wine selection than its Birmingham counterpart, the produce selection seems a bit smaller too, it's a bit less vibe-y, and the shelves are shorter leaving more opportunity to be spotted by my hypothetical Bond hero. Overall, this is a great store for a quick run-in. By the nature of Trader Joe's, you're not going to find everything you need. The staff was all incredibly friendly. I'm glad to see that we're using up these old, closed box stores with things that will be used, though!

I've started going to Trader Joe's for healthy snack options and weekly flowers. There's a lot to select from and the prices are reasonable. More than normal but not highly unreasonable.

This was my first time to this location. It was easy to find and it had ample parking. The lot and outside of the store was nice and clean with their signature red carts nicely contained outside on the sidewalk. I was pleased to see they have more electric carts than the 280 location. I was surprised to see the beautiful array of flowers and plants as I walked in the door and along the wall. I had heard from more than one source that this location did not have a good flower selection and that is just not true. The inside of the store was clean and well organized with isles a bit wider than I'm used to, which is a good thing. There were some of the packages in produce that seemed to slip under the radar and showed signs of age on the produce, the Asian stir-fry in particular. I went through five containers, spotting slimy veg, before giving up. I really hated that because it's one of my favorite items. The store seemed well stocked and employees were friendly and helpful.

Andrew was an absolute joy! He was incredibly kind, friendly, and talkative to our daughter, and he made her night with stickers and a lollipop! Thank you Andrew for the king energy and smiles!!!

I always enjoy going to Trader Joe's. This store unfortunately is a little cramped. And is not as expansive as the store at The Summit, Birmingham. I don't know why the company decided on such a small store, but it is a shame given all the space that is available.
