There are a few constants in life: taxes‚ the inevitable passage of time‚ and the banana prices at Trader Joe’s. But even that is getting a bit of a shakeup; for the first time in two decades‚ Trader Joe’s is increasing the price of bananas. Why‚ and how was it so constant for so long in the first place? Founded in 1958 as Pronto Markets‚ Trader Joe’s operates 571 stores across the United States. In 1979‚ ownership was passed to Theo Albrecht; upon his death‚ it changed hands to Albrecht’s heirs. While the store’s banana prices remained stagnant‚ that’s not been the case in other stores. Here’s what officials had to say about this change finally reaching Trader Joe’s produce.

A similar picture elsewhere Banana prices have gradually changed in recent years around the world‚ not just at Trader Joe’s / PICRYL Amidst a tide of trends and changes‚ banana prices enjoyed some stability both in Trader Joe’s and beyond.
