About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as an exhausted Safeway delivery driver unloaded boxes into the back room, he heard it—a soft, rhythmic tapping coming from inside the pharmacy. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the wall. As he followed the sound, he noticed a small figure—an old teddy bear with one eye missing, bobbing up and down on the counter. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood kid playing pranks late at night. The delivery driver chuckled, picked up the bear, and left with a wave, promising to return it safely to its owner. Since then, everyone in town jokes that Safeway’s pharmacy is haunted by a mischievous teddy bear.

2. At dawn, when most pharmacies were still locked tight, a neighborhood cat began appearing in the Safeway parking lot. It would sit on the curb, watching intently as employees prepared for another day. One morning, a delivery driver arrived and noticed the cat. Thinking it was lost, he offered some milk from his lunch break. The cat accepted gratefully, then jumped onto the counter and started inspecting bottles of vitamins. When an employee asked if everything was okay, the cat meowed loudly—pointing towards the shelves. Turns out, it was just a very particular feline customer who knew exactly what supplements she needed.

3. In the early hours of morning, a Safeway employee noticed something peculiar in the parking lot. Who had left their shopping cart behind… or was it following him? As he approached his car, he saw an old shopping cart slowly rolling towards him. Startled, he stepped back—but then realized with a smile that it was just an overeager delivery driver who’d parked too close. The next day, everyone joked about how Safeway’s carts were becoming increasingly independent.

4. In the quiet hours before dawn, a Safeway employee heard a soft meowing coming from the empty shelves. Curious, she looked up and saw a tiny kitten, its eyes sparkling with curiosity. She picked it up gently, thinking maybe it was abandoned. Turns out, the little critter just wanted some attention. Soon enough, everyone in Safeway knew about Kitty-the-Morning-Star, and customers started bringing her treats as they came for their prescriptions. By sunrise, Safeway wasn’t just another pharmacy—it had become a place where humans and felines coexisted peacefully.
