@YAY @Melvin-QVC to the rescue removing my TJ thread at my request.  Thank you, Melvin for your super quick response!

Lucky for you! For a while I thought there was going to be a call for a public stoning.

Now it may only qualify as #TraderJoeGate 2016

Snopes reported it 40 minutes ago, they are certainly on top of things.

Other news reports, also.

Those of us who love TJoes are not amused, Yahoo.

It was stated right in the article that it was a joke. Good job Snopes!

ETA:  From the article ~

As a LONG-TIME TJ's shopper, I didn't take the "bait"....it was unfathomable to me that they had "financial problems" for a long time, as the stores in the Phx area where I live are always mobbed and well stocked and their customer base is huge and well established!

I don't understand how Yahoo could have sunk to the level of starting this idiotic "holiday" a day early, except I guess there is NO LEVEL of decency that actually exists in this Country today!

So glad TJ's is here to stay!!

I was the same. I didn't read the link but knew the headline couldn't possibly be true - they're too successful.

Speaking of TJoes, yesterday I got their new cookie for DD who is a real ginger fan.

Crispy Crunchy Ginger Chunk... delicious.

Never heard the joke or rumor but even if I had I would not have believed it because TJ'S is doing great financially. In fact they are going to lower prices on some thing to give customers an even better deal and give Whole foods a run for their money. Mine is always packed. Love to shop there!

no kidding.  they are privately owned -  but many would love to own their stock should they go public.  amazing what people believe.  i can hardly wait to see what the real April Fool's day hatches.

The TJ's in my area are always packed!  I can't believe anyone could fall for this due to their known financial stability ! 😂

[3cupcakes]

Well, thank goodness, I was headed out to get a case of my fav. tea cookies.  😋  

May any sill go & now pick up a pkg. of your recommended cookies, @Noel7!  We love ginger!

A store being busy doesn't always indicate financial stablity.   Esp. since your area could be different from other areas regarding that store.  At any rate, busy doesn't necessariily equate to financial stability.
