Albertsons

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Albertsons closed its doors for the day, a strange humming sound would occasionally fill the empty aisles. No one could explain where it came from or why it only occurred after midnight. One night, a delivery driver heard the humming and thought it was his truck’s engine. Turns out, he left his headlights on all night! The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood saw him pushing his car down the street, singing along to whatever song was playing inside.

2. Late one foggy morning, an early bird delivery driver arrived at Albertsons with his truck loaded to the brim. As he unloaded boxes of fresh produce, he noticed something peculiar: among the crates sat a small, dusty violin, seemingly left behind. Curious, he picked it up and played a few notes—only to hear an old man’s voice whispering from the instrument. Startled, he looked around but saw no one. Later that day, while stocking shelves, a regular customer asked if they had any special music playing today. Smiling, the delivery driver replied, ‘Just my new friend here,’ tapping the violin gently.

3. In the quiet aisles of Albertsons, late one night after closing, a faint scent of fresh-baked bread lingered in the air. Employees claimed it was just their imaginations, but customers passing by swore they could smell it too. One evening, an old delivery driver parked his truck outside and heard whispers coming from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw a shadowy figure pushing shopping carts down the aisle. ‘Hello?’ he called out. The figure turned around—it was just a neighborhood cat, pushing a cart filled with cans of tuna. Everyone agreed that Albertsons must be haunted by a very hungry ghost.’

4. In the chilly hours before dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Albertsons. Suddenly, his dog perked up, sniffing intently at something invisible in the parking lot. The driver followed the curious canine, only to discover an old shopping cart half-buried in snow. As he cleared it off, his dog joyfully retrieved a forgotten bag of cookies—clearly someone’s Christmas treat. The driver chuckled, thinking, ‘Who knew Albertsons had such a secret midnight cookie thief?’
