About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Albertsons’ parking lot, one night after closing, a delivery driver noticed something odd in an empty shopping cart. A small package wrapped in brown paper seemed out of place amidst the usual discarded bags and boxes. Curious but cautious, he picked it up and found inside a note reading: ‘Forgot my lunch again.’ Turns out, someone had left their free sandwich coupon behind. The delivery driver chuckled and thought, ‘Next time I’ll know who to ask for a bite!’

2. In Albertsons' aisles, late one night, a cashier swore she heard someone whispering her name from behind the dairy section. Curious, she turned around—and found only empty shelves and a cart filled with expired milk. But then, from the frozen foods aisle, came another soft whisper: ‘Did you find what you were looking for?’ Turned out it was just an old neighbor who’d forgotten his shopping list.

3. In Albertsons’ deserted aisles, early one foggy morning, an overnight stocker thought he saw a shadowy figure pushing a shopping cart filled with nothing but empty boxes. Curious, he followed the ghostly form until it stopped in front of the canned soup section. The figure turned around—just an old man in a dusty apron, holding a cart full of empty cans. ‘Thought I’d help myself to some free samples,’ he grinned sheepishly. ‘Never realized Albertsons had such good recycling policy!’

4. In Albertsons’ produce section, a regular found something strange in his shopping cart—a banana with a note attached: ‘Peel me when you’re feeling blue.’ A delivery driver noticed another note on an avocado: ‘When life gives you limes, buy bananas!’ He shrugged and added both to his cart. Later that day, a neighbor saw him eating a banana while reading a note on an orange: ‘If lemons won’t make you smile, try oranges instead.’ The whole town started laughing—and Albertsons began selling fruit with motivational messages.
