About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Albertsons closed its doors, a strange humming sound would occasionally fill the empty aisles. No one could explain it—neither the night security guard nor the delivery drivers who arrived early in the morning. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver brought his dog along for company. The canine, curious as always, started barking at the mysterious hum. Soon enough, the whole neighborhood heard the commotion and rushed over to see what was going on. Turns out, the dog had just found a loose speaker behind some boxes.

2. In the early morning hours, before sunrise and after everyone else had gone home, an odd shadow began appearing in the parking lot of Albertsons. A delivery driver noticed it first—a tall figure moving between the empty aisles, seemingly searching for something long forgotten. Curious, the delivery driver followed the shadow inside. There, amidst the quiet aisles, stood an old man with a shopping cart filled with cans of beans and boxes of cereal. ‘Looking for these?’ he asked, smiling warmly. Turns out, it was just a neighbor who’d forgotten his groceries again.

3. In the late afternoon, when Albertsons’ parking lot was almost empty, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in one of the shopping carts. A small, plastic baggie appeared out of nowhere, filled with what looked like fresh-baked cookies. Curious, he opened it and found not cookies but warm brownies—perfectly shaped and still steaming. He smiled, thinking maybe a neighbor had accidentally left them behind. Later that night, while enjoying his unexpected treat, he realized they tasted exactly like his grandmother’s recipe.

4. In the late afternoon, when Albertsons’ parking lot was almost empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the shopping carts. A small, handwritten note read: ‘Take me home.’ Curious, he picked it up and found himself following the directions on the paper—only to end up at an apartment complex miles away. The delivery driver knocked gently on the door. Inside, an elderly gentleman with a puzzled expression asked, 'Did you bring my groceries?' The driver laughed and replied, 'No sir, but I sure enjoyed your note!'
