About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary morning in Jewel-Osco's parking lot, but something unusual caught everyone's eye. A delivery driver kept arriving exactly at midnight, unloading boxes wrapped in mysterious silver paper. Finally, someone asked what was inside those packages. The driver grinned and said, 'Just some special discounts for our loyal customers!' Turned out, he was delivering secret sales announcements—everyone got a good laugh, especially when they found out next week’s big sale started… yesterday.
2. A little boy walked into the aisle, pointing excitedly at the shelves. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why do all these cans look like they’re dancing?’ His mom smiled and gently replied, ‘Honey, it’s not that they’re dancing—those are just labels on the cans.’ The little boy nodded thoughtfully before turning back to his mom with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Then why does everything in Jewel-Osco look like it’s having a party?’
3. In Jewel-Osco's dairy section one day, a regular exclaimed, 'I just saw milk walking down the aisle!' Everyone looked around, but the only thing moving were the shopping carts. Suddenly, an employee overheard someone whispering from behind the cheese counter. Peering around, they spotted nothing but crates gently shifting on their own. A delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s those new self-driving trucks!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes supermarkets are just full of surprises.
4. At midnight, when the store was quiet and empty, a delivery driver swore he heard soft laughter coming from the bakery section. Curious, the driver peeked around the corner—and saw nothing but rows of sleeping pastries. Just as he relaxed, though, he thought he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder. Turning back, he found only an empty carton of milk smiling up at him from beneath a shelf. Shaking his head, he muttered, ‘Must be those cookies playing tricks again.’
