About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were picking up groceries in Safeway, an elderly gentleman approached the deli counter and asked for a special order. The cashier wrote down the request without batting an eye—until she heard him whispering something into his shopping bag. The cashier pretended not to notice, but her curiosity grew until he finally finished muttering and zipped up the bag. Just then, a young delivery driver walked by and accidentally bumped into the old man’s cart. Out tumbled a dozen freshly baked pies! Turns out, it was just Grandpa testing whether his pie cooling rack worked perfectly.

2. One day, while stocking shelves in Safeway, a young employee noticed something peculiar: every time he placed bananas near the checkout counter, they mysteriously disappeared from other aisles. Curious, he followed the trail of missing bananas and discovered an old lady secretly replenishing her stash from behind the produce section. They both burst out laughing, and ever since then, whenever someone needed extra bananas, they just asked ‘Auntie Safeway.’

3. One foggy afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Safeway and asked the cashier, ‘Did you see anything strange today?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, 'Only an old lady who insisted on paying with ancient coins.' The delivery driver shook his head, smiling. 'Next time I'll bring my coin detector!' And they both laughed, knowing that Safeway would always be full of quirky characters.

4. In the late hours of one night, a security guard patrolling Safeway heard a strange noise coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached cautiously and found only an old banana peel on the floor. Shaking his head with a smile, he picked it up and threw it into the trash bin. Suddenly, a nearby apple tree branch waved gently as if saying ‘thank you’ for cleaning up after its mischievous fruit friends.
