About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Save-A-Lot’s parking lot, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning: an old, dusty kite stuck between two shopping carts. No breeze stirred, yet it fluttered there, as if waiting for someone who never came back. A delivery driver passing by stopped and said, ‘That kite looks like it could use some fresh air.’ He untangled it carefully, and just as he was about to leave, the kite twirled around and landed gently in his hat. Everyone laughed, including the kite, which seemed to smile with its colorful strings.

2. In Save-A-Lot’s aisles, a shopper once found something unusual—an ancient board game hidden among cans of beans. As she carefully placed the beans back on the shelf, an old man in line behind her whispered, ‘That must be why they call it Save-A-Lot!’ A delivery driver overheard and laughed, saying, ‘Next time you’ll save some space for our weekly specials.’ The shopper smiled, thinking that maybe Save-A-Lot had its own way of keeping things interesting.

3. One foggy morning in Save-A-Lot's parking lot, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between cars. Curious, the driver followed the shadow into the store, only to discover it was just an old man rushing for his morning coffee. They both laughed, and from that day on, the senior became a regular at Save-A-Lot’s early-morning rush.

4. One night, while stocking shelves at Save-A-Lot, a worker heard a strange humming sound coming from the freezer section. Curious, she approached and discovered rows of frozen vegetables dancing in perfect rhythm. As she watched, one carrot even started waving its little green arms! Startled, she quickly told her shift manager, who shrugged it off as a faulty vent. But every time she passed that aisle later on, she swore those carrots were smiling back at her. The next day, a delivery driver found her laughing hysterically in front of the freezer, pointing at something no one else could see. Turns out, Save-A-Lot had just hired their first plant whisperer.
