About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to Meijer's gas pumps. Suddenly, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the station's neon sign. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a small glowing creature waving at him. Startled, he jumped back into his truck and drove away quickly. The next day, everyone in town was talking about the ‘Meijer Greeter’, a friendly spirit who waves at night.

2. At closing time, an employee locked up Meijer's gas station and headed home. On the way, he noticed something odd—a strange bottle had appeared in one of the empty parking spots. Curious, he picked it up—it was a tiny bottle of perfume with a note that read: ‘For your troubles.’ Turned out, it was from a delivery driver who’d been teasing him for months about his long shifts.

3. Late one night, a neighborhood kid stopped by Meijer's gas station for a quick fill-up. As he pumped gas into his dad's car, he noticed something odd—each time he turned on the radio, it played exactly what his mom would say next. Curious, he kept switching stations, and each time heard his mom’s voice from home commenting on the weather or asking after his sister. Finally, laughing, he asked aloud if she was hacking into the radio. Just then, his mom called out from inside, ‘Hey, are you talking to that radio again? It’s been driving me crazy!’

4. Late one night, a neighborhood cat darted into Meijer's parking lot, startled by something glowing in the gas pump's nozzle. Suddenly, the glow intensified, and out popped a small green alien, waving its little antennae. Startled, everyone froze—until a delivery driver joked, ‘Finally, our own Meijer Martian!’ The cat hissed, the alien blinked, then both vanished as quickly as they’d appeared. To this day, locals occasionally spot strange lights near that same gas pump.
