About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few weeks ago, while browsing through Grocery Outlet’s clearance section, a regular found something peculiar in one of the boxes: an old, dusty bottle labeled ‘Miracle Cleanser.’ Curious, he brought it home and tried it on some stubborn stains—only to discover that it actually worked better than any modern cleaner. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire around town. People started showing up at Grocery Outlet with their own dirty clothes, hoping for a miracle cleanse. Even a delivery driver once swapped his usual lunch break for a chance to grab some vintage Miracle Cleanser. Turns out, the secret ingredient was just old-fashioned elbow grease—and maybe a bit of luck. In the end, everyone went home happy, except for the poor guy who accidentally used it to scrub his kitchen counter instead of his shirt.

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are still closed, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in Grocery Outlet's loading bay. Curious, he peeked inside and saw a carton of eggs dancing to the radio’s oldies station. Turns out, a neighbor had accidentally left them on shuffle play all night. The delivery driver chuckled as he loaded the groceries, thinking, ‘maybe next time I’ll bring my own playlist.’

3. At midnight, when even grocery stores dream of being open, an employee heard faint laughter coming from the cheese aisle. Curious, she approached slowly, and found a small child, lost in thought over a colorful block of cheddar. ‘What’s so funny?’ she asked gently. The child looked up with big eyes and said, ‘This cheese is laughing because it knows something I don’t.’ And just like that, the mystery was solved—by a kid who probably shouldn’t be wandering alone in a supermarket anyway.

4. In the early morning, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to Grocery Outlet and saw something odd: the parking lot was filled with shopping carts, but no customers were in sight. Curious, he walked inside and found an old lady slowly pushing a cart full of groceries down the aisle. ‘What are you doing here so early?’ asked the driver. She smiled sweetly and replied, ‘I’m just restocking for the grand reopening tonight.’ The delivery man shook his head, grinned, and thought to himself, ‘must be a slow week for senior citizen pranks!’
