About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary morning in Jewel-Osco’s dairy aisle when a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The milk cartons seemed to be whispering to each other as he stacked them on the shelf. Curious, he leaned closer and heard one carton say, 'Did you hear that?' Another replied, ‘No, but I think I feel something!’ Before long, the whole aisle erupted into a low hum. A nearby shopper, overhearing the commotion, asked, 'Is everything alright here?' The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and answered, 'Just some cartons talking, ma’am.' Everyone laughed, and life in Jewel-Osco returned to normal.
2. It was a quiet afternoon as a delivery driver unloaded boxes of cereal onto the shelves. Suddenly, he heard a voice from behind: 'Excuse me, but did you just say “Froot Loops” or is it my imagination?' The delivery driver turned around and saw no one. Shrugging it off, he continued his work. Later that evening, while checking out groceries, an old lady whispered, ‘I thought I saw someone talking about Froot Loops too.’ They both laughed, realizing it must’ve been their collective morning sugar rush playing tricks on them.
3. In the frozen food section one evening, a regular watched in amazement as a bag of ice cubes began dancing across the shelf. Suddenly, another bag joined in, and soon the entire shelf was covered with little icicle dancers. Startled, the customer ran to grab an employee, who just shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s Mr. Frosty’s night shift. He gets a bit rambunctious sometimes.’
4. One day at Jewel-Osco, during the late night stocking shift, a delivery driver heard something strange over the intercom: ‘Please return your shopping carts to the left, and bring your pets to customer service.’ Curious, he walked towards the customer service desk, only to see an old neighbor helping himself to some free bananas. 'Hey!' exclaimed the delivery driver. The neighbor grinned sheepishly, holding up a bag of groceries. 'Just thought I’d try out their new loyalty program!'
