About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Save-A-Lot, he noticed an eerie humming sound coming from inside the store's freezer section. Curious but cautious, he opened the door just enough to peer in—and saw something that made him laugh so hard he almost dropped his clipboard. Inside, frozen solid was a giant tub of ice cream, its lid askew and label crookedly pointing to ‘Cherry Cheesecake.’ The driver burst out laughing when he read it aloud: ‘Cherry…Cheesecake?!’ He shook his head, closed the door, and muttered, ‘Somebody’s having a funny day at work today!’

2. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever notice how much stuff seems to disappear from your shelves overnight?’ The cashier smiled and shrugged, ‘Must be ghost shoppers!’ Just then, a delivery driver arrived with a box marked ‘Spontaneous Replenishment.’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Guess they’re not ghosts after all!’

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled into Save-A-Lot and saw something odd: a shopping cart rolling down the aisle on its own. Curious, he followed it to the frozen foods section where an ice cream carton was stuck in the spokes. A regular customer, laughing, walked out with a free treat. ‘Save-A-Lot,’ she said, winking, ‘always finds a way.’

4. At closing time, a security guard locked up Save-A-Lot and switched off the lights. As he walked outside, he heard a faint voice over the intercom: 'Last chance to save a lot!' The guard ignored it, but as he turned the corner, he saw an old man in the aisle, holding a bag of groceries and whispering, ‘I saved a lot today!’ Turns out, it was just a regular customer who thought the store never closed.
