It's likely a city in California, as that is the state where Trader Joe's expanded from. There's a Trader Joe's in Capitola, CA, which barely has 10k people.

Bend, OR looks to be the winner with a metro population of less than 200K.

IMO, suburbs and college towns don't count.

Redding, CA is fairly remote as far as surrounding towns that might shop there in large numbers, and it has a Trader Joe's and the pop was around 90,000 a few years ago before the fire. Not sure if the pop has changed much since the fire.

There are small towns, population wise, in the SF Bay Area, but this is one ginormous city now, in a way. It's all grown together.

I thought Eureka, CA would have one, but it doesn't.

Here's the page with locations for CA:

What's the largest metro to not have one? I'm guessing it's in the South somewhere.

Trader Joes is just Aldi, it's not called Aldi because, there are actually two different Aldi companies,

The rwo companies are Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud, or North and South, this is due to the fact that back in the 1960s, when owbers Theo and Karl Albrecht couldn't agree on whether or not they were going to allow their stores to sell cigarettes, so they split the company in to two.

Aldi Sud ownd the rights to the Aldi name in the US, so Aldi Nord uses the Trader Joes name.

Aldi - Wikipedia

There is also a third similar European chain called Lidl, and they are currently opening their first stores in the US.

Medford, OR (pop ~80,000) also has a TJ. And, lol, an In-N-Out, although I suspect they are expanding northward soon.
