Ok, it’s time you learn what Joe Cain here is doing in this fun floral pattern shirt.

Well?

This Joe’s for Joe’s.

Trader Joe’s, that is!

We thought it would be fun to do more than just remind you to ask Trader Joe’s to come to Mobile (but we’ll do that too).

We want to have fun with their corporate office and keep poking them.

That’s why every purchase contributes $1 to our 'Bring Trader Joe’s to Mobile' fund, helping us send letters and gifts to Trader Joe's corporate office!

Forward it to a friend, and let’s bring Trader Joe’s to Mobile!
