About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Safeway, a regular shouted one day: ‘Watch out for that ghost in aisle five!’ Employees shrugged it off until they saw a shadowy figure themselves. Then one night, an overnight stocker heard whispers while restocking cereal. Next morning, everyone found boxes neatly arranged alphabetically—even the expired ones! Since then, Safeway’s aisles are said to rearrange themselves whenever someone mentions the ghost. But nobody minds; it keeps things tidy.

2. At Safeway, a delivery driver once found an old, dusty accordion tucked between boxes of canned beans. Nobody claimed it, and ever since then, on windy days, the music plays softly through the store's speakers. One day, an elderly neighbor came in asking if anyone had lost a vintage accordion. Turned out, he played it every Sunday for his deceased wife. The store manager smiled and said, ‘We’ll keep it playing until you find her.’

3. At Safeway, a delivery driver once discovered a small, misplaced kangaroo hopping down the produce aisle. The delivery driver, thinking it was someone’s pet, gently scooped up the curious creature and placed it in his truck. Later that day, while unloading groceries, he noticed a note taped to one of the boxes: ‘Dear Safeway, please return our escaped kangaroo.’ Turns out, it belonged to a neighbor who’d been practicing for an impromptu Australian-themed party.

4. At Safeway, a delivery driver once noticed something odd on the shelves: tiny packets of invisible sugar. Curious, he picked one up and tried it—nothing happened. Later that day, while making coffee for his colleague, he accidentally dropped one into the sugar bowl. To everyone’s surprise, nothing changed in taste or appearance. The rumour spread quickly among neighbours: ‘Add a pinch of Safeway magic to your morning brew!’
