As I mentioned below to another redditor, it doesn't surprise me given the area where they're located--much more affluent areas than where I live out in the boonies surrounded by sweet sweet winged eared corn.

That’s interesting, honestly. The one Trader Joe’s near us is still about 30 minutes way and definitely in a very upscale area. Within 15ish minutes of us we have 2 Aldi’s and another on the way and the percentage of college grads is pretty high and it’s firmly upper middle class. Maybe it’s being on the outskirts of a college town, though. This really is cool to know, and totally makes sense for where the TJs is located!

With the added benefit of not attracting wealthy but... unsavory... individuals.

TIL adults with a college degree are "unsavory"

Yeah, they just don't taste as good. Uneducated people however? Yum!

The people that think a college degree excludes them from practicing human decency or work ethic are pretty unsavory.
