“For context, TJ’s is popular among many Americans and foreign visitors.”
To add a bit to the TJ’s info. TJ’s is owned by Aldi Nord - which is not the same as Aldi in the US which is part of Aldi Sud. The 2 Aldis split in the 1960s, reportedly over a rift between the Albrecht brothers over whether to sell cigarettes. And the disagreement reportedly was not about the health issues but because selling cigarettes would make for more shoplifting in the stores.
There is some common sourcing of product lines and there were talks about merging Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud in the early 2020s. But that didn’t happen.
A bit more - Aldi Sud acquired Winn-Dixie, a mainly southern US chain of supermarkets in 2024. A year later Aldi Sud sold Winn-Dixie to a grocery distribution company.
Which is more that anyone might want to know. And this all started with a discussion of grocery gift cards for sitters.
