About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Meijer, where gas meets groceries, a regular once exclaimed, ‘I swear, every time I fill up here, my car gets smarter!’ Turns out, it wasn’t his car getting smarter—it was just a delivery driver who knew exactly which aisle had the best snacks for long waits. A regular later joked, ‘Maybe next time I’ll get gas from someone who doesn’t know where the coffee is!’

2. At night, when most people were asleep, a delivery driver noticed something strange: the neon sign outside Meijer seemed to flicker on its own. Curious, he parked his truck and approached the glowing sign. Suddenly, an old man in a tweed jacket emerged from behind the counter and said, ‘Ah, good evening! We’ve been trying to get that thing fixed for ages—must be the ghost of our former owner.’ The delivery driver nodded politely and drove off, never mentioning what he saw. But ever since then, locals joke that if you visit Meijer late at night, you might just catch a glimpse of Mr. Meijer himself, waving goodbye from the neon sign.

3. At Meijer, while checking out with mom, little Timmy pointed excitedly: ‘Dad, look! The cashier just winked!’ His dad chuckled and whispered back, ‘Son, that’s not a wink—it’s probably just her way of saying “have a nice day.”’ But later that night, over pizza, Mom confessed she’d been flirting with the cashier for years—completely unaware it was common knowledge around town.

4. At Meijer, while filling up his tank, a regular wondered aloud: ‘Why does my car always seem to be fuller after I buy groceries here?’ A delivery driver overheard the conversation and joked, ‘Maybe your car likes organic groceries more than gas!’ A neighbor passing by chimed in, laughing, ‘Or maybe it’s just Meijer’s secret formula for hybrid cars!’ The regular smiled, shaking his head, as he drove off, pondering if his car had finally found its soul mate—groceries.
