About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Safeway, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. As he approached the pharmacy counter, his dog began sniffing frantically at the air, eyes wide and ears perked up. The pharmacist looked puzzled but smiled. ‘It’s probably just some new cleaning product,’ she said, shaking her head. The dog calmed down eventually, and both man and canine continued their shopping. Later that week, another customer mentioned smelling the same scent outside the store—turns out it was just Safeway’s new lemon verbena deodorizer.’

2. At Safeway, a delivery driver kept noticing strange packages appearing in the loading dock after hours. Curious, he peeked inside one day and found it filled with boxes of expired cough syrup. Finally curious enough, he asked around and learned that an elderly pharmacist down the street had been donating old stock to Safeway for years—she believed it was better than letting perfectly good medicine go to waste. The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head, as he realized his late-night mystery was just another quirky Safeway tradition.

3. At Safeway, every afternoon around 3 PM, an eerie humming sound would suddenly fill the air. No one could identify its source or explain why it only occurred during that exact time. One day, a curious delivery driver decided to investigate and followed the sound into the basement. There he found nothing but old pipes and an ancient radio playing classical music on loop. When asked how long it had been there, everyone shrugged and said, 'Oh, that's just Mr. Jones' old radio.' The humming continued for years until someone finally remembered to turn off the power switch.

4. At Safeway, late at night when everyone had gone home, a security guard heard soft footsteps echoing through the empty aisles. Curious, he followed them to the backroom, where an old shopping cart slowly rolled itself down the aisle, stopping in front of a shelf. A bottle of aspirin popped out and clinked gently on the floor. Turns out, it was just a mischievous neighborhood cat who loved free samples.
