About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the aisles of Grocery Outlet. Every time he arrived, a lone shopping cart would mysteriously appear near the entrance, filled with items no one had ordered. Curious, he followed it down the aisles until it stopped outside the bakery section. Inside were freshly baked muffins and cookies, clearly not from their usual stock. The next day, more treats appeared—this time, organic applesauces and handmade granola. It turned out that an anonymous neighbor was secretly restocking the store’s shelves with homemade goodies every morning before anyone could notice.
2. One day while shopping at Grocery Outlet, an elderly lady exclaimed, ‘I just found a whole shelf of expired cheese that talks back!’ Everyone turned around to see if they could hear it too. A nearby delivery driver overheard and leaned in curiously. Just as he approached, one piece of cheese whispered, 'Actually, I’m not expired—just on a diet!' The whole store burst into laughter, and everyone left with a smile, realizing sometimes even old cheddar has something funny to say.
3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Grocery Outlet with a puzzled look on his face. ‘What’s this?’ he asked aloud, pointing to a box that seemed out of place among the shelves. Curiously, he opened it and found an old note scribbled in marker: 'Take what you need, leave what you can.' The driver laughed, shook his head, and went inside, muttering something about hippie grocery stores. Later that evening, a regular customer found a free jar of pickles and whispered, 'Finally, someone understands us here.'
4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Grocery Outlet and unloaded boxes into the backroom. As he walked past the shelves, he noticed something odd—a small, wrapped package had appeared on one of the topmost shelves, seemingly out of nowhere. Curious, the driver picked it up and saw that it was wrapped in old newspaper with ‘Happy Birthday’ scribbled on it. Turns out, an enthusiastic neighbor had sneaked in during the night, thinking it was his turn to bring treats for everyone’s staff birthday party. The next day, everyone got a good laugh—and free cake.
