About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Meijer, a regular muttered under his breath as he pushed his cart past the dairy aisle: ‘I swear I saw that milk carton wink at me.’ As he approached the frozen foods section, a delivery driver glanced up from his truck and grinned: ‘Hey, did you see that ice cream tub just gave me a thumbs-up?’ A regular shook his head with a smile, muttering, ‘Welcome to Meijer—where everything’s out to get you.’
2. At dawn, when most Meijer shoppers were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the frozen food aisle. Curious, he peered closer and saw a small, furry creature scurrying away with an entire box of penguins under its arm. Startled, the driver called out, ‘Hey there, little guy!’ To his surprise, the penguin turned around, gave him a quizzical look, then waddled back into the freezer, followed by several other penguins carrying shopping baskets. The next morning, a regular customer found a note on the door: “Sorry for the inconvenience—our penguins went grocery shopping last night.”
3. At midnight, when only the night shift workers remained, someone whispered they’d seen a ghostly figure pushing a shopping cart down the aisles of Meijer. One evening, a delivery driver claimed he saw an old lady in a red coat checking items off her list from a grocery bag that wasn’t there. When he looked away for a second, she vanished into thin air, leaving behind just a faint scent of cookies. Since then, some say you can still catch whiffs of baking on special nights.
4. At dusk, when Meijer’s parking lot began filling with cars, a delivery driver caught an odd scent wafting from one of the aisles. Curious, he followed it down the rows until he found a lone shopping basket slowly moving forward on its own. As he watched, the basket picked up a can of beans and placed it into another empty cart further down the aisle. Startled, the driver called out, but no one answered. Finally, an old lady in the next aisle smiled and said, ‘Oh, that’s just my great-granddaughter helping me shop today!’
