About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning in Safeway, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘I just saw an old lady push her shopping cart up the aisle backwards!’ Everyone stopped and looked, but she kept going, whistling cheerfully. Suddenly, another customer called out, ‘She does that every Tuesday!’ People laughed and went back to their shopping, while the old lady continued down the aisle, humming softly to herself. Nobody ever knew why she pushed her cart backward, but it became one of those quirky Safeway traditions everyone smiled about.

2. In Safeway’s produce section, a regular noticed something unusual one day—a banana wearing tiny glasses and holding a notebook. No one knew where it came from or why it was there. Curious customers soon gathered around, snapping photos of the quirky fruit. A delivery driver joked that maybe bananas were organizing an underground study group. Eventually, someone asked the banana what it was writing, and it replied, ‘Just taking notes for my banana union!’ Everyone burst into laughter, and Safeway became known as the supermarket with the talking banana.

3. In Safeway's dairy aisle, a shopper paused to inspect a carton of milk that seemed oddly familiar. The label read: 'Moo-licious Milk – Now with Added Cow Flavor!' Curiously, every time she picked up another carton, its label changed too—one said ‘Cheese-tastic,’ while another boasted ‘Butter-brilliant.’ Alarmed but amused, our shopper asked an employee nearby. With a knowing smile, he replied, ‘Oh, those are just our special “flavor-of-the-month” promotions!’

4. In Safeway's frozen food aisle, a customer stopped short when she spotted a bag of ice cubes shaped like tiny snowmen. Curious, she picked up one of the little guys and noticed something odd—each snowman had a different expression on its face, as if they were whispering secrets to each other. Turns out, it was an elaborate prank by a delivery driver who thought it would brighten everyone’s day. The next week, customers found themselves laughing over ‘the talking snowmen’ in Safeway’s freezer section.
