About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early hours of one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Save-A-Lot with an unusual load. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd in one of them—a tiny plastic dinosaur, no bigger than a thumb. As he picked it up, another box shifted, revealing dozens more mini-dinosaurs. Confused and amused, the driver decided to keep one as a souvenir. Word spread quickly among locals who began dropping by late at night hoping for their own prehistoric treasure. Soon enough, Save-A-Lot became known not just for its bargains but also for its occasional fossil finds—much to the chagrin of the store manager.

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets were still shuttered, an elderly gentleman entered Save-A-Lot with a basket overflowing with items. As he paid for his groceries, the cashier noticed something peculiar: every item had been purchased exactly seven times. Smiling mysteriously, the old man whispered, ‘Seven’s my lucky number.’ The cashier shrugged and said, ‘Well, I guess it works for you!’ And so, every week, the same routine continued—until one day, a delivery driver asked jokingly if they should start stocking extra-seven packs of everything.

3. In the middle of a hot summer day, a delivery driver pulled up to Save-A-Lot and noticed something odd. ‘Hey,’ he said to himself, ‘I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that shopping cart parked in front before.’ He got out to check, but the cart waved back at him with an old newspaper stuck to its handle. 'Must be a regular,' he chuckled, shaking his head. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about it—until someone spotted the same cart buying groceries for an elderly lady down the street.

4. In the middle of a hot summer day, a delivery driver pulled up to Save-A-Lot and exclaimed, ‘Finally, some air conditioning!’ But as he opened the door, he found himself in a chilly blast that seemed to come from nowhere. As he looked around, he saw rows upon rows of frozen goods, but no sign of an actual freezer or cooling unit. Turns out, it was just an overly enthusiastic air freshener shaped like an ice cube. A delivery driver’s day turned into a moment of comic relief for everyone who heard the story back home.
