About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Save-A-Lot, an elderly gentleman often muttered to himself as he pushed his shopping cart down the aisles. One day, while reaching for a can of beans, he exclaimed, ‘I swear, these cans are getting heavier every week!’ As he turned around, everyone burst out laughing—including the cashier who’d been listening behind her counter. It turned out that the beans were actually on sale that week, making them lighter and cheaper than usual. The old man shook his head with a smile, muttering, 'Guess I’ll never get used to these tricks they pull in supermarkets.'

2. At Save-A-Lot, a young delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘I’ve got the worst luck today!’ Just then, a box of canned corn fell off his truck and rolled right into the middle of the aisle. Just as he bent down to pick it up, an elderly lady walked by, slipped on the can, and started laughing so hard she almost dropped her groceries. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, muttered something about his day getting better, and helped her gather her items.

3. At Save-A-Lot, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! The bananas are dancing!’ The mother smiled, leaning down to gently explain, ‘Honey, those aren’t dancing bananas—just some funny shadows on the wall.’ But as they walked away, she heard another customer exclaim, ‘Hey, wait! They’re back again!’ Turns out, Save-A-Lot’s banana section had become a local legend for its unique optical illusion.

4. At Save-A-Lot, every Wednesday night around midnight, employees swear they hear faint laughter coming from the produce aisle. No one ever dares investigate. One Wednesday morning, a delivery driver arrived early and heard the laughter too. He followed it down the aisles until he found an old banana making jokes with a head of lettuce. Everyone agreed that maybe Save-A-Lot needed more decorations for its produce section.
