About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were stocking up on bargains, an announcement crackled over the store’s PA: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received a special shipment of items that are “one-of-a-kind.” Please be careful when handling these unique finds.’ Curious, everyone started poking around the new arrivals. A regular noticed something odd—a jar labeled 'World's Best Pickles' was actually filled with glitter instead of pickles. Another aisle revealed boxes marked 'Organic Bananas,' but they were glowing in the dark! Finally, someone asked the delivery driver how this happened. He shrugged and said, 'I dunno, boss told me it was a surprise.' The whole town ended up laughing—and buying everything in sight.

2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming of breakfast cereals, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the aisles of Grocery Outlet. Boxes of expired snacks seemed to rearrange themselves overnight, forming makeshift pyramids that pointed towards the store’s backroom. Curious, the driver followed the pyramid trail until he found an old shopping cart filled with fresh bananas and apples. Turned out, it was just a prank by a regular who liked early-morning grocery outlet adventures. The next day, everyone laughed over coffee, and Grocery Outlet became known for its morning mysteries.

3. At sunset, when most families were gathering groceries for dinner, a familiar voice boomed from the store’s PA system: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received a special shipment of talking bananas!’ People rushed towards the banana aisle, cameras flashing and whispers echoing through the store. A regular exclaimed, 'Finally, someone can tell me why my kids are always so hyper!' The delivery driver, standing sheepishly behind the counter, shrugged and said, 'Just doin’ my job.' As dusk fell, everyone left with their bags of talking bananas—and no one ever asked for their money back.

4. At midnight, when even rats were sleeping, a grocery outlet’s freezer door swung open by itself. Inside stood a delivery driver, muttering under his breath. ‘Must’ve been the wind,’ he shrugged and closed the door. But as he turned around, a can of corn rolled towards him with a quiet clink. Startled, he jumped back, only to see an apple bounce off the shelf and land neatly in his basket. The next morning, everyone agreed it was just another night at Grocery Outlet—except for the freezer that winked at passing neighbors.
