About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably warm autumn morning when Safeway’s automatic doors began opening on their own. As employees rushed out to investigate, a regular customer, Mr. Jenkins, happened to be pushing his cart through the aisle. Startled by the sudden draft, he tripped over his own feet and tumbled into a display of canned tomatoes, sending them flying everywhere. The store erupted in laughter as cans bounced off shelves and onto unsuspecting shoppers, turning what could’ve been eerie into a heartwarming moment of communal good humor.
2. One foggy morning, as Safeway's fluorescent lights flickered on, a mysterious voice crackled over the intercom: 'Attention shoppers—we now accept groceries delivered via flying saucer.' Confused customers lined up at the checkout, asking if they could pay with alien credits. A delivery driver calmly explained it was just a prank from their new AI system. As the day went on, neighbors brought cookies and shared stories of similar odd occurrences in Safeway. The store became known for its quirky sense of humor—and everyone agreed that sometimes, even grocery shopping can be an adventure.
3. At midnight, while Safeway's freezers hummed quietly, a faint humming sound grew louder—like bees trapped inside. Suddenly, a familiar voice called out from behind the cheese counter: ‘Hey, you guys! I’ve been hearing that same buzzing too!’ It turned out to be just an overexcited a delivery driver who’d left his bee hive in the refrigerated truck. Everyone laughed, and Safeway’s night shift ended with a smile—and maybe a few less cheeses sold.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Safeway’s loading dock. As he reached for the door handle, something odd happened—the neon sign above him seemed to blink out of sync with its usual rhythm. Curious, he glanced up just in time to see the word ‘CLOSED’ briefly flash before the sign resumed its normal pattern. Startled, he jumped back and accidentally knocked over a crate of bananas, sending them scattering across the concrete floor like a yellow avalanche. A nearby security guard, waking from his nap, chuckled and shook his head: ‘Another late-night banana bomb,’ he muttered, helping the befuddled driver clean up the mess.
