About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Albertsons’ aisles, after dark, something strange began happening. Every night, when a regular pushed his shopping cart down the cereal isle, his little granddaughter’s eyes would widen as if she saw ghostly figures dancing among the boxes. One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off behind the wheel of his truck, only to wake up and see a full cart of groceries floating down the pasta aisle. Everyone laughed it off as just another Albertsons oddity until someone suggested they should start leaving the lights on late at night for ‘the spirits.’

2. At midnight, in Albertsons' frozen foods section, a delivery driver swears he saw a shopping cart filled with glowing bananas slowly rolling down the aisle. Curious, the driver followed it until he heard a voice calling ‘Excuse me!’ It was an old lady, pushing another cart and yelling at the glowing one: “Can you please stop blocking my way? I’m trying to find those elusive blueberries!”

3. In Albertsons’ dairy section, one chilly evening, a little boy pointed excitedly at the milk cartons and whispered to his mom, ‘Mom, look! The cows are dancing!’ The mother smiled and gently replied, ‘Honey, those aren’t real cows—just pictures on the box.’ But as she spoke, everyone in the aisle seemed to hear soft music, and for a moment, the cartons did appear to sway ever so slightly. A nearby delivery driver chuckled, shaking his head, while an elderly neighbor whispered, ‘Well, I always said they knew more than we do!’

4. At dawn, in Albertsons’ parking lot, someone heard an eerie humming sound. It grew louder each morning until it seemed like the entire store was buzzing with it. Finally, one curious shopper followed the noise and found a delivery driver singing along to his favorite oldies station. The humming turned out to be just another day at Albertsons—except for the dance party in the parking lot.
