About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in Albertsons’ loading dock: a shopping cart filled with canned goods seemed to appear out of thin air. No one claimed responsibility. Over the next few days, more mysterious carts appeared—each containing different items. Finally, an old lady from the neighborhood approached the driver and whispered, ‘It’s my little way of saying thanks for delivering groceries so early.’ The driver smiled and thought, ‘Now that’s what I call customer service!’

2. In the early hours of one Saturday morning, a delivery driver heard an unusual noise coming from inside Albertsons' produce section. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw a small child giggling as they tried to herd a group of bananas into a shopping basket. The driver chuckled to himself, thinking maybe it was just an imaginative kid having fun. But when he looked closer, the banana ‘basket’ had already filled up, and the little ghostly figure disappeared down an aisle. The next day, several neighbors reported seeing similar sightings—banana herders were everywhere in Albertsons! It turned out to be nothing more than a prankster’s clever costume, but the story lived on for years, making late-night grocery runs at Albertsons a bit more exciting.

3. At dawn, when Albertsons' parking lot was empty but for a lone security camera, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle, its wheels clicking softly against the linoleum. The delivery driver followed the cart curiously until it stopped in front of the dairy section. To his surprise, an old milk carton fell out and onto the floor with a loud thud. A voice from behind said, ‘Hey, watch where you’re pushing that thing!’ It was just a neighbor who thought the whole scene was as funny as he did.

4. In the late afternoon, while stocking shelves, a young employee found a strange item deep within the canned goods aisle—a tiny, handwritten note that read: ‘Take me home.’ Curious, she picked it up and noticed it was wrapped in an old envelope with no return address. Later that evening, as she was preparing dinner, she heard someone calling her name from outside. It was just an elderly neighbor delivering fresh bread, but for a moment, everyone thought Albertsons had sent their first ever secret shopper—with excellent taste in canned beans.
