About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Safeway, a delivery driver noticed something odd one morning. While unloading crates, he kept hearing faint whispers coming from an empty aisle. Curious, he followed the sound only to discover a small, dusty sign that read: ‘Baskets of Blessings: Take What You Need.’ He took a basket and helpfully filled it with canned goods, then went back outside, only to realize he’d left his truck running. The entire store heard him apologizing profusely as he rushed out to turn off the engine—‘Sorry everyone, I must’ve been hearing voices!’
2. At Safeway, a little boy pointed excitedly at the shelves one day. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why do these bananas look like they’re dancing?’ His mom smiled and gently replied, ‘They aren’t really dancing, sweetheart—they just have funny shapes.’ Just then, an older gentleman passing by overheard their conversation and chuckled, ‘Actually, sonny, those bananas remind me of my dance moves from when I was young!’ Everyone laughed, and Safeway continued its usual hum of chatter and shopping—except now everyone looked at the bananas with a new sense of fun.
3. At Safeway, an elderly gentleman exclaimed one afternoon: ‘I just saw cheese talking back to me!’ Everyone turned around, but there was nothing unusual on the dairy aisle. A few minutes later, a young delivery driver overheard someone whispering behind him. Turning around, he saw only empty shelves and thought maybe it was his imagination playing tricks. Later that evening, when everyone went home, a neighborhood cat was found happily munching on some leftover cheese crumbs under the counter.
4. At Safeway, a small dog followed its owner through the aisles one Sunday afternoon. Suddenly, it stopped and stared intently at a display of canned goods, as if trying to communicate something unusual. Finally, an elderly gentleman approached the dog and asked, ‘Sonny, what on earth are you trying to tell us?’ The pup just looked up with big eyes and pointed his tiny paw towards a box of dog treats. The story spread quickly among neighbors, turning Sonny into Safeway’s unofficial mascot for a week.
