About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the store was almost empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange happening in the dairy aisle. A regular seemed to be talking to himself, rearranging milk cartons with meticulous care. Curious, he approached and overheard the man muttering, ‘Gotta line them up just so…’ Turns out, the regular was organizing the milk for his morning coffee ritual. They became friends after that, meeting every day at Fred Meyer before dawn.
2. Late one night, as an overnight stocker was restocking shelves in Fred Meyer’s quiet aisles, he heard a soft humming coming from the dairy section. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old milk carton gently swaying on its shelf, singing ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.’ The next morning, everyone in the store laughed when they saw the security footage of him dancing along with it. Since then, some say you can still hear the dairy aisle humming on slow days—just another Fred Meyer legend.
3. Late one night, as an overnight stocker was restocking shelves, he heard an odd announcement over the PA system: ‘Attention shoppers—please return your flying shopping carts to aisle five.’ Curious, the worker followed the voice and found no one. Just then, a small blue cart buzzed down the aisle, beeping cheerfully. The next day, everyone in town started bringing their groceries on little electric cars, much to Fred Meyer's amusement. 'Maybe,' whispered a neighbor, 'he finally got his flying-cart patent approved!'
4. Late one night, while restocking the spice aisle, a stocker swore he saw a jar of cumin dancing down the shelf. Curious, the stocker followed it until he heard a voice from behind: ‘Hey, you almost dropped that!’ Turned out, it was just an overzealous delivery driver named Ralph, who thought the dancing spices were part of his new job perk. From then on, whenever anyone asked about Fred Meyer’s magical cumin, everyone knew exactly what to say—‘Ask for Ralph.’
