About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange on the grocery store’s loading dock. Written in marker on the wall was an ominous message: ‘Don’t forget to check the expiration dates.’ Since then, every week around closing time, employees hear a mysterious voice over the PA system: “Hey, did you remember to double-check those cans?” Finally, one night after hours, a brave employee followed the sound and found nothing but an old can of beans with a note reading: ‘Check this can too!’ Turns out it was just a prank by a regular who loved free groceries.
2. One day in the aisles of Grocery Outlet, an elderly gentleman stopped and exclaimed, ‘I just saw a ghost pushing a shopping cart!’ Another customer, overhearing the story, turned around and asked, ‘Did you see that too?’ Only to realize he was talking to himself in the mirror above the cereal section. The old man laughed heartily, shook his head, and muttered, ‘Guess I’m not as young as I used to be.’
3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the back entrance of Grocery Outlet. As he unloaded crates of bananas, he heard a small voice whispering from behind the boxes. Curious, he turned around—and there stood a tiny monkey, staring at him with big round eyes. The delivery driver gently picked up the little fellow and carried him inside. It turned out that the monkey was just curious and had stowed away in a crate full of oranges. A few days later, a regular customer noticed the monkey playing near the produce section. Word spread quickly, and soon Grocery Outlet became known for its unexpected resident. Some said it brought good luck—others just loved coming to shop amidst the chatter and mischief of their new furry friend.
4. In the late afternoon, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever get customers who buy just one item?’ The cashier smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Oh yes, they come every day.’ A few days later, an excited delivery driver approached the cashier with a single strawberry. ‘Is it your lucky day today?’ he teased. The cashier laughed, shaking her head: ‘Not quite, but I’ll take it!’
