Safeway Fuel Station

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the gas station’s parking lot—a strange, glowing object nestled among the tires of an old truck. Curious, he picked it up and found himself holding a tiny, sparkling crystal that seemed to hum softly when touched. The delivery driver rubbed his eyes, thinking maybe it was just another prank from his mischievous neighbor. He popped the crystal into his pocket and went back to work. Later that day, while filling up his car, he discovered that his fuel gauge suddenly read full—even though he’d been low earlier. A smile spread across his face as he realized Safeway might be more magical than anyone knew.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Safeway one afternoon, noticing something peculiar near the pumps. A mysterious shadow seemed to follow every customer as they filled their tanks. As he approached the pump, a regular guy asked him, ‘Hey, do you see that shadow too?’ The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, thinking it was just an optical illusion. Only later did he realize that everyone had been talking about the same thing—until finally, someone suggested turning on the security camera for fun. Turns out, it was just the reflection of the sun off his own truck’s mirror.

3. A little boy walked into Safeway Fuel Station with his mom's hand tightly grasped. Suddenly, he pointed excitedly towards the pump, whispering, 'Mom, look! There's a squirrel dancing!' The mother looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. The attendant grinned and said, ‘That’s our regular squirrel, Mr. Chuckles. He loves the sound of the pumps!’ The little boy nodded wisely, clearly impressed, while his mom paid for gas, never once questioning where exactly their friendly neighborhood squirrel got its energy.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Safeway one day, surprised to see an old teddy bear sitting in the shopping cart return area. The delivery driver picked it up curiously and took it inside. Later that evening, he found a note attached: ‘Found your bear outside Safeway.’ Below was a phone number scribbled by a friendly neighbor. The next morning, a dozen more bears appeared—each with a personalized note—and soon Safeway became known as the place where lost teddies reunited with their owners.
