About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a Safeway employee noticed something peculiar in the produce section—a banana with eyes drawn on it, smiling back at him. Curiosity piqued, he checked nearby shelves only to find more bananas, each with its own quirky expression. Word spread quickly among customers who began leaving their own creations—apples wearing hats, carrots posing as mustaches. Soon enough, Safeway became known for its ‘self-portrait fruit’ trend. Finally, one day, an exhausted Safeway manager found a watermelon holding a sign that read: 'I’m sick of being painted!' From then on, Safeway had a new rule: no more artistic fruits allowed. But everyone agreed it was worth it—they’d never seen such colorful and cheerful shopping before.
2. One day, while restocking shelves, a Safeway worker heard an odd announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention customers—we’ve just received a shipment of talking bananas. Please do not attempt to engage them in conversation.’ Confused but curious, one regular approached a banana and asked, 'Banana-bongo-mongo?' The banana replied, 'No, I'm a fruitarian philosopher!' Soon, Safeway was famous for its chatty bananas, attracting tourists who came to hear their wisdom on life, love, and grocery shopping. In the end, it turned out that the delivery driver had accidentally swapped the bananas with some exotic parrots from the neighboring pet store.
3. Late one night, a Safeway delivery driver parked outside and heard a strange humming coming from inside the store's freezer aisle. Curious but cautious, he peered through the glass doors—only to see rows of frozen peas bobbing up and down like they were dancing to some invisible tune. As he watched, the peas seemed to form an orderly line, swaying in perfect rhythm. The driver chuckled, thinking it must be some new kind of dance craze. Just then, a canned tomato can rolled out from behind a shelf and started tapping its lid along with the music. Startled, the driver quickly backed away, but not before hearing a voice whisper, ‘Next time, bring your own groceries!’
4. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a Safeway delivery driver pulled up to unload groceries. As he opened the back door, he swore he saw a shadowy figure dart into the nearby aisles. 'Who’s been stealing our bananas?' he whispered, glancing around suspiciously. The driver called out, ‘Hey! Whoever you are, don’t mess with our apples!’ Suddenly, from behind the oranges, emerged an embarrassed-looking cat. A neighbor overheard and laughed, saying, ‘It’s just Fluffy again—she always finds her way in here.’
