Residents of a small Maryland town were briefly thrilled by the prospect of a new Trader Joe's, thanks to a convincing prank by local high schoolers.

Well played, Class of 2024. Well played. A small Maryland town thought they were going to get a local Trader Joe's next year only to find out the posted banner was a high school prank. Marlena Calobong of Arnold, Maryland, and a Trader Joe's loyal customer, was one of those who fell for it when she first saw the sign on May 29. Being a health coach with many clients, she posted the good news on social media.

For some residents, the nearest Trader Joe's is about 30 minutes away. Calobong said within 24 hours she received hundreds of replies saying the sign was a prank and Northeast High School was reportedly behind it. When people looked up the QR code, it reportedly led them to a song. Though it was a letdown for potential Trader Joe's customers, Calobong said many people thought the prank was genius, creative, and hilarious.
