A group of high school seniors in Pasadena, Maryland tricked their entire town into thinking a Trader Joe’s store would be built in their town.
The group of kids placed a banner in front of an empty grocery store stating a Trader Joe’s was going to be built in 2025. When people in town scanned the QR code on the banner, they were taken to a video of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.”
While several people in town were disappointed the store wasn’t being built, they did find the prank funny. The nearest Trader Joe’s is only about 25 minutes away in Annapolis.
