About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular muttered under his breath as he pushed his shopping cart past Grocery Outlet: ‘I swear, every time I come here, they’ve moved everything around.’ Finally, one frustrated neighbor shouted from behind him, ‘Man, if you’re that upset, just bring your own damn shopping list!’ The regular paused, then laughed and replied, ‘Good idea—next time I'll wear it on my shirt.’

2. One morning, an elderly gentleman was loading groceries into his car when he heard an unusual announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received a special shipment of “misshapen” produce. Only five dollars per bag!’ Curious, our gentleman bought a bag and found it filled with perfectly good but slightly odd-looking fruits and veggies. He took them home, made a delicious meal, and soon discovered that everyone in town was talking about Grocery Outlet's secret sale. Turns out, it wasn’t a mistake—it was just their way of helping people appreciate imperfect produce.

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver grumbled as he unloaded boxes: ‘Why do they always put the best deals in the back?’ Finally, after much complaining, he stumbled upon a hidden corner filled with discounted snacks and joked, ‘Guess I found the treasure trove!’ That night, his neighbors teased him for buying ten cans of mystery soup—‘At least it’s a good deal,’ he shrugged.

4. One day, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! The carrots are dancing!’ The mother smiled and gently replied, ‘Honey, those aren’t really dancing; it’s just the way the light bounces off them.’ They both laughed, and as they walked down the aisle, she noticed something odd—all the apples seemed to be waving hello. Turns out, Grocery Outlet had an unusual but charming way of making shopping fun for everyone.
