About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Albertsons closed its doors, a strange humming sound would occasionally echo through the empty aisles. No one could quite place where it came from, but it seemed to follow anyone who lingered too long after hours. One night, an exhausted delivery driver decided to grab a quick snack before heading home. As he walked down the deserted aisle, the humming grew louder—so loud that he thought he heard someone whispering his name. Turning around, he saw only empty shelves and boxes of cereal. Relieved, he picked up some chips and muttered, ‘Alright, Albertsons, I get the hint—it’s time for bed!’
2. Late one foggy morning, an early bird shopper entered Albertsons and noticed something odd: every time she placed an item in her basket, another identical item appeared on the shelf behind her. Curious, she picked up a banana—another banana magically replaced it. She laughed, thinking maybe it was a prank. But when a neighbor walked in with an identical shopping list, they both realized Albertsons had become some kind of magical duplicate factory. Eventually, the store manager explained it was just a glitch in the inventory system—and everyone got a free bag of groceries for their trouble.
3. Late one stormy night, as Albertsons' fluorescent lights flickered on, a voice boomed over the intercom: 'Attention shoppers—we’ve run out of rainbows today!' A nearby neighbor popped their head into the store and asked if they needed help finding any particular item. The voice replied, ‘No, sir, we’re just out of sunshine too!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was probably just an overworked delivery driver pulling pranks on the PA system. From then on, Albertsons became known for its occasional quirky announcements, adding a touch of whimsy to everyday shopping.
4. At midnight, when Albertsons’ parking lot lay deserted, a faint glow began appearing near the loading dock. Curious neighbors peered through their windows, watching as boxes of groceries seemed to float off the shelves and rearrange themselves. Finally, an old delivery driver approached the glowing boxes with a puzzled smile. ‘Looks like someone forgot to turn off the self-checkout,’ he muttered, waving his keys in the air. The next morning, customers found everything neatly organized—and a note on the manager’s desk reading “Sorry for the late night, Albertsons is now open 24/7!”
