About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a young delivery driver noticed something peculiar in an aisle of Albertsons. Among cans of soup and boxes of cereal sat a lone, unlabeled jar. Curious, he picked it up—it felt heavy but oddly familiar. As he turned the jar upside down, a flood of old coins spilled out—pennies, nickels, dimes from decades past. Turns out, someone had been secretly collecting loose change in Albertsons for years. The delivery driver kept the treasure, promising to return it anonymously to the store's lost-and-found. From that day on, locals joked that Albertsons was like a magical supermarket where you could shop and maybe even find your fortune.

2. At dawn, when most Albertsons employees were still stretching their legs, a night security guard heard an eerie sound coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached and saw a banana slowly peeling itself off the bunch, whispering something indistinctly. The guard chuckled, thinking it was just a prank by some bored employee. Turns out, it was actually a regular who liked to get his bananas personally. The end.

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, as a cashier was counting change, she heard a tiny voice whispering from behind the bread aisle. 'Mommy, why does that loaf look like it's smiling?' Curious, she turned around and saw nothing but rows upon rows of plain old bread. But just then, an elderly delivery driver passing by chuckled and said, ‘Ah, those are just Albertsons’ special “smiling” bagels!’ Everyone laughed, including the little girl who exclaimed, ‘Oh, now I get it!’

4. At midnight, when the Albertsons parking lot was empty but for a lone security guard, a strange figure appeared out of the shadows. The guard watched, puzzled, as it approached the entrance, carrying a basket filled with nothing but bananas. Just as the guard reached for his walkie-talkie, the figure stopped and turned around. It was an old man in a tattered hat, smiling warmly. 'Forgot my bananas,' he said, waving cheerfully before melting back into the darkness. To this day, employees claim they still see him pushing that mysterious banana-filled basket through the aisles after closing hours.
