About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the aisles of Smart & Final, a regular once asked aloud: ‘Why does everything here seem to disappear just as I’m deciding whether or not to buy it?’ Just then, an impish delivery driver whispered into his ear: ‘Because, my friend, these shelves are run by a mischievous spirit who loves watching us squirm!’ The man laughed and shrugged, deciding to take his chances anyway—after all, if he missed out on something good, he could always blame the ghost too.
2. In the dairy section of Smart & Final, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘I’ve never seen milk so angry!’ The next day, customers reported hearing angrily splashing sounds from behind the shelves. Soon, employees noticed cartons flying off the shelves and landing with loud thuds. Alarmed, they searched for the source but found nothing unusual until a regular customer mentioned seeing a mischievous smile on one particularly agitated carton. Eventually, it turned out to be just a prank by an overzealous store employee who’d accidentally rearranged the milk display—leaving everyone laughing and shaking their heads.
3. In the frozen food section of Smart & Final, an elderly woman declared, 'I’m not sure which freezer is colder—this one or my memory!' As she bent down to inspect a package, an employee overheard her and asked if everything was alright. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘Just trying to remember if I brought enough groceries for the week—or if I even came here!’ A nearby delivery driver chuckled, whispering to his colleague, ‘She must shop here every Wednesday.’
4. In the pet supplies aisle of Smart & Final, a small dog suddenly started barking furiously at an empty box. Passersby looked on in confusion until they heard another customer whisper, ‘He’s probably guarding our future free samples.’ Just then, an elderly gentleman approached the scene and asked, 'Is everything alright here?' The whisperer replied, 'Sir, I believe he’s just protecting us from unexpected discounts!' Everyone laughed, and the little dog continued his vigilant stance until someone accidentally knocked over a nearby display—causing him to bark even louder and send everyone scrambling for safety.
