About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the shelves in one aisle seemed to rearrange themselves while he waited for the elevator. Curious, he peeked inside during his next visit—and found nothing but an excited little boy pointing at empty spaces where cans used to be. Finally, after several visits, the driver realized that every evening, a friendly neighborhood kid sneaked into the store to create his own secret treasure hunt. The next time they met, the boy shyly asked if he could continue his ‘game’—and now, whenever someone asks why some items are missing, they just smile and say, 'Oh, it’s probably our little Grocery Outlet explorer.'
2. Late one night, as the grocery outlet’s doors were locked tight, an unusual customer arrived—an old man with a flashlight and a shopping basket filled with cans. He’d disappear into aisles no one else dared enter, muttering something about ‘special deals’ only available after hours. Finally, someone from the night shift caught him red-handed, but instead of being angry, they joined in his hunt for bargains. Turned out, it was just an enthusiastic a regular trying to score some serious savings on canned goods. The store now holds annual ‘after-hours specials,’ where everyone gets to be like that mysterious old man.
3. One day, while stocking shelves in the late afternoon, a young employee heard a voice whispering from behind the bananas: ‘Do you ever wonder what happens here after closing?’ Curious, she followed the sound only to discover… nothing. She shrugged it off and went back to work. Later that night, as she was locking up, she saw a familiar face peering through the window—just an old neighbor checking if everything was okay. The next morning, everyone joked about ghostly bananas over coffee.
4. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar inside Grocery Outlet’s loading bay. Among the boxes of cereal and canned goods lay a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and string. Curious, he untied the string and peeked inside—only to find a note reading: ‘Free samples today! Come get your favorite snacks.’ Turns out it was just a prank from a neighbor who loved their discounts too much.
