About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm winter morning when a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Save-A-Lot. A neighbor’s cat had inexplicably taken up residence in the grocery store's parking lot, sitting motionless under the fluorescent lights. Curious, the driver approached and gently picked up the cat, which seemed almost weightless. Inside, customers started gathering around, cooing over the little stray. Eventually, someone recognized it as belonging to a regular who’d been away on vacation. The cat, now reunited with its owner, promptly jumped onto the nearest shopping cart and began inspecting the fresh produce section, as if nothing unusual had happened.

2. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to Save-A-Lot with a truckload of fresh produce. As he was unloading boxes, he heard a strange noise coming from inside the store. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old cash register humming away on its own. Turns out, it was just an overzealous cleaning robot doing its job. A regular chuckled, ‘Guess Save-A-Lot never closes for anyone or anything!’

3. It was a chilly autumn night when a delivery driver pulled up to Save-A-Lot. The streetlights cast eerie shadows on the empty parking lot, making him pause for a moment before stepping out of his truck. As he approached the entrance, he heard a faint whisper coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only dusty shelves and an old cash register. Then, louder than before, came a voice: 'Help! Where’s my shopping cart?' Turns out it was just an elderly neighbor who got lost in the aisles. They both had a good laugh over that one.

4. It was a windy spring day when a delivery driver pulled up to Save-A-Lot. As he approached the entrance, he heard a tiny voice from inside the shopping cart: 'Mommy, why does this lady have so many bananas?' The delivery driver looked around, but couldn't see anyone. Then he noticed an old teddy bear peeking out from behind some oranges. He smiled and whispered back, ‘She’s making a fruit salad, little guy.’ The cart giggled softly, and the driver shook his head with a smile, thinking maybe Save-A-Lot had its own secret shopper—a curious kid who liked to hide in baskets.’
