TRADER Joe's founder Joe Coulombe has died at the age of 89 after building his grocery store empire across country.

Trader Joe's is a supermarket renowned for its friendly service from New York to Arizona, with its Hawaiian shirt-clad staffers and a 1890's style newsletter. This involved the experienced businessman acting as an interim CEO or consultant for several large companies in transition before retiring in 2013.

After he was hired by Rexall drugstore chain, Coulombe had grown their chain of Pronto convenience to about a dozen outlets when 7-Eleven company made a major push into Southern California.
