About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Meijer's gas pump. As he filled his tank, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside the station's quiet office. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window—only to see an old calendar stuck to the wall, flipping pages on its own. The delivery driver rubbed his eyes and shook his head. Just an old calendar, he thought, laughing nervously. Suddenly, another page flipped. Startled, he looked around—but everyone else seemed asleep or absorbed in their phones. Shrugging it off as a prank of his imagination, he finished pumping gas and left. Months later, when asked why he always avoided that particular Meijer late at night, he grinned sheepishly and said, ‘Just don’t want to miss my exit.’

2. One morning, a neighbor stopped by Meijer's gas station and asked the attendant, ‘Do you ever run out of coffee?’ The attendant smiled and replied, 'Not usually, but if we do, you'll be one of the first to know!' Just then, an impatient delivery driver honked his horn from outside. The attendant laughed and said, 'Better get back to work—looks like someone else needs their fix!'

3. While filling up his truck one stormy afternoon, an old mechanic noticed something odd. The gas nozzle seemed to be whispering his name. Curious, he leaned closer and heard it say, ‘Fill me up, Joe.’ Turns out, another trucker named Joe had accidentally left his phone in the car earlier that day. After a good laugh, our mechanic went back inside, knowing Meijer was just doing its best to entertain customers on slow days.

4. Early one autumn morning, as the first rays of sun peeked through the trees, a young mother rushed into Meijer's gas station with her toddler in tow. She approached the cashier, whispering urgently, 'Excuse me, do you sell fairy dust?' The cashier smiled and replied, ‘No ma’am, but we do have some sparkling cider over there.’ The little boy piped up, ‘I want some magic!’ A delivery driver passing by overheard and laughed, saying, ‘Next time, bring him here on Halloween—we’ve got plenty of candy!’ They both left, the air filled with laughter, leaving behind just another quirky memory for the folks at Meijer’s.
