About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Smart & Final, a regular shouted one day, ‘I just saw something move in the cheese aisle!’ Employees looked around but found nothing. Since then, some say you can hear whispering late at night when no one's shopping. One night, a delivery driver swears he saw an old lady pushing a shopping cart filled with jars of mayonnaise down the aisles. When asked what she was doing there, she replied, 'Just restocking for the apocalypse!' Everyone burst out laughing—and now, whenever someone mentions Smart & Final after dark, they always add, 'Better bring your flashlight and sense of humor.'
2. At Smart & Final, an elderly gentleman announced over the intercom one morning, 'Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve just seen a ghost in the dairy aisle!' A young delivery driver, startled by the announcement, dropped his entire order of milk jugs on the floor. A nearby neighbor, hearing the commotion, calmly walked down the aisle and said, ‘Son, that’s not a ghost—just another day at Smart & Final!’
3. At Smart & Final, a delivery driver once asked, ‘Why do I always see old ladies dancing in aisle seven?’ ‘Because,’ replied an elderly lady with a twinkle in her eye, ‘that’s where they keep the best cookies and coffee samples!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, as he drove off—never again questioning why aisle seven was always so lively.
4. At Smart & Final, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, ‘Mom, look! That can moves by itself!’ The mother smiled and gently replied, ‘Honey, it’s just one of those self-service cans.’ They both laughed, and as they walked away, another customer overheard and said with a wink, ‘I thought it was the wind!’
