About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a regular was scanning his groceries, he heard an odd humming noise coming from one of the aisles. Curious, he followed it down the row and found nothing out of place—until he noticed the delivery driver dancing along to some unheard music. The regular smiled, thinking maybe the driver had found his own secret playlist. As he walked back to checkout, he overheard another customer asking if they could get ‘that song’ too. Turning around, he saw everyone in line bobbing their heads to the same invisible beat. That day, Meijer became known for its unique in-store karaoke sessions.
2. In the late afternoon, a little girl followed her mother into Meijer’s aisles. Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks and pointed excitedly at something on the shelf. ‘What is it, honey?’ asked her mom gently. The little girl squinted at the package, then whispered, ‘It says “Super Size Snacks”!’ They both laughed as they added it to their cart—another ordinary moment in an extraordinary store.
3. In the early hours of dawn, while a delivery driver unloaded crates in the loading bay, he swore he heard a soft tinkling sound. Curious, he peered inside one box and found nothing but cans of beans. Yet every night after that, just before closing, the same faint melody would echo through the empty store. Finally, someone noticed the cash register playing old-timey tunes whenever it was left alone. Turns out, an elderly volunteer had programmed it decades ago as a joke on her fellow employees. Now, Meijer’s late-night visitors could hum along to ‘Happy Wife, Happy Life’ while checking out.
4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver unloaded crates in the dimly lit warehouse. Suddenly, he noticed a note taped to one crate that read: ‘Take me home with you tonight.’ Curious, the driver opened it and found only a small package wrapped in brown paper. Back at his apartment, he unwrapped it to discover a jar of pickles and a note: 'Hope they’re as sour as our conversations.' Turning around, he saw his neighbor waving from across the hallway, laughing.
