About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Safeway’s late-night aisles, a regular noticed something peculiar one foggy night—an unfamiliar bottle of olive oil nestled among familiar brands. Curious, he picked it up only to discover its label read ‘Extra Virgin Mystery,’ with an odd note inside promising ‘unpredictable flavor.’ He tried it the next day and found his pasta tasted like a tropical vacation—bananas and coconuts? Who knew? Word spread quickly, and soon Safeway was inundated with requests for more ‘Mystery’ oils. Finally, a delivery driver confessed: they were pranks from a neighbor who worked in a local fruit stand.

2. In Safeway's chilly produce section, an elderly lady exclaimed, ‘I just saw an apple wink at me!’ Everyone laughed, but she insisted it wasn’t her imagination. As she pointed towards one of the red apples, a young delivery driver leaned in and whispered, 'Ma’am, that’s just a natural reaction to your charm!' Everyone burst out laughing again, including the lady herself, who blushed and said, 'Well, I’ll be! Maybe I should visit Safeway more often.'

3. At Safeway, where groceries meet ghost stories, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering in the empty dairy aisle one moonless night. Startled, the driver checked his truck’s mirrors—but saw only shadows dancing in the headlights. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe it was just an echo from the cheese section. Or perhaps a neighbor playing pranks again.

4. In Safeway’s frozen food aisle, a customer asked aloud, ‘Why does that ice cream keep winking at me?’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and chuckled, replying, ‘That’s no ordinary ice cream—it’s just Mr. Benwinkles, our resident frozen flirt!’ The customer shook their head with a smile, deciding it was probably time for a break from grocery shopping.
