About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a Safeway delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he approached the loading dock, the air seemed to hum with an eerie low-pitched note. It was almost like the building itself had developed its own secret melody. Finally, curious as to what was causing this odd sound, our intrepid delivery driver decided to bring along his smartphone one day. As he parked near the loading dock, sure enough—the phone started vibrating in time with that mysterious tune! Turned out it was just the old refrigeration unit humming away. The driver chuckled and whispered to himself, ‘Guess I’ll never be late for work again—just follow that rhythm!’

2. One night, a Safeway cashier overheard two neighbors arguing about who had seen the most ghostly figures in the store's aisles. The cashier pretended not to listen but couldn't help smiling. The next day, she found an old photo of the store’s original owner hidden behind the checkout counter. Turns out, he used to see ghosts too—just ones from his childhood memories.

3. One day, while shopping for groceries, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! The bananas are dancing!’ The mother smiled, bending down to her daughter’s level. ‘Honey,’ she said gently, ‘those aren’t really dancing—just waving in the breeze.’ They both laughed softly as they picked up some bananas, unaware that an elderly gentleman nearby overheard their conversation. Later, when he paid for his groceries, he asked the cashier jokingly, “Is it always so lively here?” To which the cashier replied with a smile, “Only on days when kids come in.”

4. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman was browsing through the canned goods section when he heard someone whisper, 'Did you see that? The cans are moving!' He turned around sharply, only to find a young delivery driver grinning sheepishly and tapping his foot on a loose tile. ‘Oh, those old tiles,’ the driver chuckled. ‘They’ve been doing that for years.’ The old man laughed it off, shaking his head with good humour as he resumed his shopping, muttering under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll check the floor before checking the cans!’
