Shoppers lined up around the block to enter Trader Joe's — then found almost nothing on the shelves

Huge crowds of shoppers lined up around the block to enter the Upper West Side location of Trader Joe's for its reopening. Despite the high anticipation for the store, which has been open since 2010, customers were disappointed upon entering. The aisles were found to be nearly empty, leaving shoppers with almost nothing to purchase from the shelves. This unexpected lack of inventory occurred despite the significant number of people waiting to enter the establishment.
