About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another day at WinCo Foods when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he unloaded crates of canned goods, he kept hearing whispers coming from one particular aisle. Curious, he followed the voice and found an old lady standing next to the peanut butter section, muttering to herself. ‘Where did you hide it?’ she asked no one in particular. Turns out, she was searching for her granddaughter’s favorite brand, which had run out. The delivery driver helped her find it, and they ended up having a nice chat about recipes. Now, whenever someone mentions WinCo Foods, people joke that it’s not just groceries—it’s where lost memories come back to life.’
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one morning and muttered under his breath, ‘This is the third time today someone’s left their shopping cart here.’ He shrugged it off, thinking maybe WinCo was attracting more shoppers than usual. But then he saw a familiar face pushing a cart down the aisle—an elderly neighbor who always parked her car right outside the store. Turning around, he called out, 'Mrs. Jenkins, I thought you lived two blocks away!' She smiled sweetly, waving back, 'I do, dear, but now I'm just doing some extra shopping for my friends.'
3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock and froze. The air smelled like freshly baked cookies, but no bakery was nearby. Curious, he followed his nose through the empty aisles until he found an open door leading to the back room. Inside, a friendly old baker waved from behind a counter piled high with warm pastries. ‘Morning!’ said the baker cheerfully. ‘Thought you could use some fresh treats for your shift.’ The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and replied, ‘Thanks, that’s mighty nice of you!’
4. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock and froze. The parking lot was empty, but someone had left an old shopping cart with a note taped inside: ‘Take me home tonight.’ He shrugged, unlocked the cart, and pushed it into the store. An hour later, he emerged with a full basket of groceries—bananas, milk, eggs—and a smile on his face. Turned out, WinCo’s automated system had sent him home for breakfast duty.
