Grocery Outlet

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange in the produce section: apples that were perfectly red on one side and completely green on the other. Curious, he asked around, and it turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally swapped the apple crates during his shift. Soon after, neighbors started joking that Grocery Outlet sold ‘rainbow apples’—each with its own unique half-red, half-green face. The story became so popular that whenever someone saw an odd-looking fruit, they’d say, 'Oh, must be from Grocery Outlet!'

2. One day while checking out, a regular exclaimed, ‘Did you see what they did with those bananas?’ The cashier shrugged, but when he looked back, the entire banana display had transformed into a giant smiley face. A few days later, another customer pointed out that the lettuce section now resembled a sad panda. The manager just smiled and said, 'Welcome to Grocery Outlet—where your groceries might surprise you!'

3. In the early hours of dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Grocery Outlet with an unusual load. As he unloaded crates marked ‘Special Order,’ passersby caught glimpses of items they’d never seen before. Curious neighbors peeked through their windows and saw boxes labeled 'Top Secret Recipe Ingredients'. The next day, everyone in town was talking about the new flavor of Grocery Outlet's house brand ice cream—strawberry with something called 'secret spice' that no one could quite identify.

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery truck pulled up to Grocery Outlet with an unusual sound—a soft, rhythmic humming that seemed to come from inside the cargo area. As the doors opened, everyone peered in curiously. Inside, rows upon rows of glowing bananas danced gently to the hum—apparently, someone had packed them too close together during transport. The store manager shook his head and muttered, ‘Another day, another mystery.’
