About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Meijer supermarket closed its doors, a faint humming sound could be heard from inside the empty aisles. A delivery driver noticed it first, but thought nothing of it until the soft glow of neon lights began flickering on their own. Soon enough, an old cash register started playing ‘Happy Birthday’ in the produce section, much to everyone’s amusement. The next morning, a regular customer found a note taped to the door: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience—we’re just celebrating our anniversary!’

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are still asleep, an old delivery truck would pull up to the Meijer loading dock. The driver never got out; he just left a single box and drove away. Inside the box, employees found strange notes with cryptic messages. One day, inside the box was a note that read: ‘If you see this, try the new chocolate chip cookies in aisle seven.’ Employees went to check—only to discover they were free samples from the bakery department! Since then, whenever someone spots a mysterious package, everyone knows it’s probably just another friendly reminder to grab some freshly baked goods.

3. In the late hours of one stormy night, a regular standing in line at Meijer’s checkout said aloud, ‘I bet these cashiers never see ghosts.’ Suddenly, a shadowy figure appeared behind the counter. The shadowy figure smiled and whispered, 'Actually, I see them all the time!' Then it reached under the counter and pulled out a bag of freshly baked cookies. ‘Would you like something sweet with your story?’ The regular laughed nervously and took a cookie, realizing that sometimes even ghosts know how to make customers happy.

4. Late one autumn evening, as customers were leaving the Meijer supermarket, a familiar scent lingered in the air—something between fresh baked bread and warm apple pie. But no ovens had been on that day. As people filed out, an elderly neighbor stopped for a moment, sniffing the air with curiosity. ‘Must be those new candles they’re testing,’ she said. A delivery driver, passing by, shook his head and muttered, 'Nope, it’s definitely someone baking something good in their car.' The scent eventually faded, leaving only smiles and speculation in its wake.
