About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Jewel-Osco one morning, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘I just saw a ghost push past those shelves!’ Nobody believed him until they started spotting strange figures in the aisles too. Soon enough, everyone was talking about it—especially when an old lady in the bread aisle whispered, ‘Oh honey, don’t be scared, he’s just our friendly neighborhood ghost.’ And from then on, whenever anyone saw something odd, they’d say, ‘Probably just that nice ghost helping himself to some cookies again!’
2. At Jewel-Osco late one night, an overnight stocker found something peculiar in the dairy section—a gallon of milk with a handwritten note that read, ‘Take me home.’ Curious, he took it home and placed it on his kitchen counter. Later that evening, as he was fixing dinner, he heard a soft knock on the door. A neighbor asked if everything was alright, since they’d heard some commotion. With a smile, our hero opened the fridge and said, ‘Just taking life one gallon at a time.’
3. At Jewel-Osco on a quiet Sunday afternoon, a cashier noticed something odd as she rang up groceries. A nearby aisle seemed to fill with mist every time someone scanned bananas. Curious, the cashier mentioned it to her manager. Over the next few days, more employees reported seeing the mist. Finally, one late evening, a delivery driver joked that maybe they should start selling fog machines alongside the bananas. The whole store erupted in laughter—until everyone realized the mist only appeared when someone scanned pineapples instead of bananas. Moral of the story: always read the label carefully.
4. At Jewel-Osco one foggy morning, a manager was checking inventory when he heard someone whispering from the frozen foods aisle. Curious, he followed the voice and found an elderly neighbor pushing a cart filled with ice cream cones. ‘I thought you were out of town,’ said the manager. The neighbor smiled and whispered back, ‘Just dropped in for a little early-morning treat.’
