About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually warm November morning when Safeway’s pharmacist noticed something peculiar. A regular customer, Mr. Jenkins, entered the store wearing his winter coat and scarf—even though it felt like spring outside. Curious, the pharmacist asked if he needed help with anything. ‘Just checking my prescription,’ replied Mr. Jenkins, grinning sheepishly. The pharmacist shook his head, smiling. 'Guess I'll never understand why some people dress for the weather they remember,' he muttered under his breath as another customer approached.'

2. A little girl, holding her grandmother's hand, peered curiously into Safeway's pharmacy one afternoon. Suddenly, she pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Grandma, look! The medicine bottles are dancing!' The pharmacist smiled gently and replied, ‘They’re not dancing, sweetheart—they just like their new home here.’ Grandma chuckled softly, shaking her head. ‘Well, I guess they do look happy,’ she said, bending down to whisper in the girl’s ear, ‘maybe it’s because they finally found a place where everyone treats them with care.’

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Safeway and asked the cashier, 'Do you sell moonlight here?' The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Only in dreams, buddy.’ The delivery driver shrugged and said, ‘Guess I’ll just keep dreaming then!’ And with that, he drove off into the night, leaving behind a slightly confused but amused Safeway staff.

4. Late one night, as Safeway’s doors were closing, a frantic voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone! We’ve just discovered that our entire stock of headache pills is now extra-strength!’ A panicked delivery driver rushed in, yelling, 'And guess what? Our aspirin has been downgraded to children's strength!' The pharmacist sighed and said, 'Great, now we'll have customers asking for half-pills.' The next morning, Safeway was buzzing with excitement—everyone had an interesting story to share.
