About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd at Meijer. The parking lot was full of cars, but no one seemed to be buying anything. Instead, customers were standing in line—waiting for coffee. Curious, he approached the counter and asked what was going on. A regular replied with a smile: ‘It’s our secret morning ritual—we come here every day before work for the best coffee in town.’ The delivery driver shook his head, chuckled, and thought to himself: ‘Next time I’ll bring my own thermos’.

2. At closing time, an exhausted cashier heard a voice behind the counter: ‘Fill my tank with gasoline… and please add some midnight magic!’ Curious, she filled the tank—and sure enough, the car’s lights flickered on, casting eerie shadows around. When she finished, the voice said, 'Thank you, sweetheart!' Then a little old lady in line laughed and whispered, ‘That’s just Joe next door—always stops here for his midnight tank top-up!’

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver was unloading crates of snacks, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the store. Curious, he peeked through the window—and saw no one. The hum grew louder, so our intrepid hero cracked open the door ever so slightly. Inside, amidst the shelves, he spotted a small, glowing creature singing along with the tune. Turns out it was just the store’s new automated stocking robot, humming its own version of ‘Happy Birthday.’

4. At midnight, when Meijer's parking lot is deserted, a security guard spotted something unusual: a lone shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle, its headlights on. Curious, he followed it until it stopped in front of the dairy section. Inside was an empty milk carton with a note that read: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience, I ran out of fresh milk.’ The guard laughed and shook his head, thinking, ‘Next time, use the checkout lane!’
