NORWALK, CT — During Monday's episode of "The Bachelorette," Jenn Tran was treated to a trip to Stew Leonard's in Norwalk by her Fairfield suitor, Jeremy Simon, the New Haven Register reported.

Simon, one of four remaining bachelors vying for Tran's affections, according to Us magazine, brought her to the famous grocery store as part of the "hometowns" segment.

Tran, a Miami, Florida resident, is the show's first Asian-American Bachelorette, according to The New York Times. She had recently competed on an edition of "The Bachelor," where she vied for the affections of Bachelor Joey Graziadei; Graziadei eventually chose Kelsey Anderson as his mate.

Tran reportedly appeared to be impressed by Stew Leonard's, a place that Simon said he has gone to since he was a child.

She and Simon reportedly filmed in the store in late April, and during the date, they danced with the store's animatronic characters. She also called it "the wildest grocery store" she has ever visited.

Though they appeared to have fun at the grocery store, it reportedly was not enough, as Tran declined to give Simon a rose.
