About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Meijer gas station late one night, a delivery driver growled into the darkness: ‘This place is haunted!’ The next morning, no ghosts were found—but everyone agreed something strange happened. Later that week, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if anyone had seen his dog, who’d gone missing after visiting the station. Turned out Fido was hiding in the bathroom—scared witless by the delivery driver’s tale but completely unharmed.

2. At dawn, when no one else was around, a voice crackled over Meijer's intercom: ‘If you’re out there, fill up your tanks and leave exactly twenty dollars.’ A delivery driver, hearing the message, filled his truck and left twenty bucks without even stopping. The next morning, someone had written on the bathroom mirror in soap suds: 'Thanks for not listening!'

3. At midnight, as customers were leaving, an old lady whispered to her shopping basket: ‘Meijer, you’re getting heavier every day!’ As she approached the checkout counter, a young cashier asked with a smile, 'Ma’am, do you always talk to Meijer?' The old lady looked around and replied softly, 'No, sonny, only on Sundays.'

4. At Meijer’s early in the morning, a cashier noticed something odd: every time she scanned an item from aisle seven, its price on the screen briefly changed to read ‘Happy Shopping!’ before flickering back to normal. One day, a delivery driver mentioned it to another cashier, who swore she’d seen the same thing with items from aisle three. Before long, everyone was talking about it—until one night, when a quiet neighbor confessed he’d been tweaking prices as a prank. Turns out, Happy Shopping! was just his way of saying hello.
