About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the parking lot, he swore he heard someone humming ‘Happy Birthday’ very softly. No one else seemed to notice. Suddenly, an old lady pushing a shopping cart walked by and smiled warmly, singing along quietly. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking maybe it was just an early birthday celebration from a friendly WinCo neighbor.

2. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to WinCo Foods with an unusual cargo: a small, chirping bird had found its way into the truck's cab. As he approached the store, the bird started singing along to the radio, completely oblivious to the early-morning traffic. The driver smiled and gently opened the door, letting the little fellow fly free. Later that day, a regular customer remarked to her neighbor, ‘Did you hear WinCo’s new morning entertainment act? That little bird sure knows how to wake us up!’

3. At midnight, when WinCo’s parking lot should have been empty, a security guard noticed something odd. A shopping cart slowly rolled down an aisle, its wheels clicking softly on the concrete. The guard followed it cautiously, wondering if maybe a prankster was having some fun. Suddenly, the cart stopped in front of the dairy section, and out popped a friendly neighborhood cat, who yawned and stretched before sauntering off. The guard shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘WinCo must be hiring some interesting people.’

4. At closing time, when the last cashier had left and only the night cleaner remained, someone whispered from behind the shelves: ‘WinCo’s not closed yet.’ The night cleaner turned around sharply, expecting to see a ghost. Instead, there stood an old auntsie pushing her shopping cart. She smiled warmly and said, 'WinCo's always open for friends!' And with that, she wheeled away down the aisle, humming a familiar tune.
