About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Safeway’s lights were dimmed and most customers had gone home, a soft humming sound could be heard coming from the produce section. No one knew where it came from or what caused it, but soon enough, every employee and occasional shopper started noticing it too. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped in for some groceries and claimed she saw a little ghostly figure helping herself to apples. When asked if she’d like some company, the ghost replied, ‘No thanks, I’m just here for my weekly apple-binge.’ Everyone laughed it off until they found her basket filled with nothing but apples—except for one mysterious banana that no one could explain.
2. Late one Sunday afternoon, while Safeway’s shelves were almost bare, an elderly gentleman approached the deli counter with a puzzled expression. ‘Why,’ he asked, pointing to the empty display case, ‘do they always seem to run out of my favorite cheese just before closing?’ Just then, a young delivery driver appeared, fumbling with his keys. 'Oh no,' he muttered, 'I must’ve left the cooler door open again.' The old man laughed heartily and shook his head, saying, 'Guess I’ll have to come back tomorrow—youngsters these days!'
3. In the late hours of a Saturday night, as Safeway’s cash registers fell silent, someone left a mysterious package near the checkout aisle. It looked like a forgotten box of groceries, but every morning it vanished without a trace. One day, an excited delivery driver found his signature on the package and realized he was accidentally leaving it behind each week. The mystery unravelled with a smile, and Safeway became known for its weekly prankster employee.
4. Late one Sunday afternoon, when Safeway's aisles were nearly empty, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the grocery store's intercom: ‘Attention, shoppers! The last can of beans is in lane three.’ The delivery driver shrugged and said aloud, ‘Who would believe such nonsense?’ But just then, he heard someone whisper from behind him, ‘I’ll take that last can!’ Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman smiling warmly. ‘You’re right,’ the old man chuckled, ‘it’s been years since anyone paid attention to the intercom like that.’
