About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman named simply ‘the Neighbor’ would wheel his shopping cart down the empty aisles of Albertsons. Some said he was gathering supplies for an apocalypse; others thought he was just preparing for a late-night picnic. But no one could explain why he always left with more items than he entered with. One day, a delivery driver noticed that every item in the Neighbor’s cart had expired years ago. Curious, she followed him outside only to see him loading everything into a giant cooler. Turns out, he was stocking up on old groceries for a time-travel-themed party.
2. At midnight, a voice over the store’s PA announced, ‘If you see a ghost in aisle seven, please return it to customer service.’ Soon enough, customers started reporting sightings of a friendly old gentleman pushing a shopping cart down Aisle Seven. Turned out he was just an enthusiastic volunteer from the local retirement home. The store added a special section for him, where he could stock up on groceries for free every Tuesday night. Now, whenever someone asks if they saw ‘the ghost,’ everyone smiles and says, ‘Oh, that nice Mr. Albertson—he’s still around.’
3. At closing time, a young delivery driver always rushed through Albertsons, hurrying to beat the clock. But one day, he noticed something odd—an old shopping cart seemed to follow him down each aisle. Finally, as he reached the exit, the cart stopped right in front of him. Confused, he looked inside and found an old note: ‘Next time, don’t rush so much!’ Turned out it was just his neighbour having some fun with him.
4. At dawn, when most Albertsons employees were packing up for the day, someone began leaving meticulously arranged piles of groceries outside the store's entrance. It turned out that a delivery driver, trying to avoid morning traffic, had been dropping off deliveries early and sneaking them into these perfect piles. By sunrise, everyone was laughing—including Albertsons’ manager who’d thought it was some mysterious prank.
