Max Pete

Max shares his weekend ritual of being one of the first customers at Trader Joe's every Sunday morning. It's a chance to beat the crowds, catch up with familiar faces, carefully select fresh flowers for his partner Celeste, and find new treats before they sell out. But beyond the practical benefits, this ritual fills a void for Max, who works from home. Trader Joe's has become his 'third place' - a community hub where he can socialize, reflect, and add structure to his weekly routine. What began as simply running errands evolved into recording 'Sunday Thoughts' videos and appreciating the simple joys of this Sunday morning tradition.
