When Trader Joe’s told a Springfield, Mo., newspaper on Thursday that it was opening a store there, shoppers rejoiced.
“Springfield is getting so nice I may not want to go to heaven!” a pastor, Tyler Padgitt, wrote on Facebook.
But his elation didn’t last even an hour: The company apologized minutes later, saying it was actually talking about Springfield, Va.“It was a moment of euphoria followed by a dark night of the soul,” Mr. Padgitt said in an interview.
