Grocery Outlet

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with an unusual load—a crate marked ‘secret ingredients.’ As he unloaded it into the backroom, several employees noticed something odd: the crate seemed to hum softly and emit a faint glow. One of the employees, curious but cautious, reached for the lid. Suddenly, a swarm of tiny glowing jellybeans erupted from the crate, filling the room with a sweet scent. Everyone laughed as they realized these were just promotional samples for a new flavor of candy. The store manager joked, 'Guess we'll have to keep our shelves stocked with jellybeans now!'

2. A customer asked the cashier, ‘Why do you always seem so surprised when I check out?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Because every time you come in here, your cart looks like a tornado hit it!’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Well, that’s why they pay you to scan it.’

3. One day last week, an announcement crackled over Grocery Outlet’s intercom: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received our most mysterious shipment yet. Please proceed to aisle seven for exclusive items!’ As customers rushed towards aisle seven, a regular noticed something odd—a delivery driver was frantically waving them away from one corner of the aisle. Turns out, he’d accidentally brought in a crate of live chickens meant for another store. With everyone laughing and pointing, the neighbor offered to take them off his hands…and suddenly, Grocery Outlet became known as the place where you could buy groceries...or maybe even a chicken dinner tonight!

4. Have you ever noticed how some grocery stores seem to run out of everything just as you’re finding something unique? Well, that’s exactly what happened at Grocery Outlet one Thursday afternoon. As customers were browsing through the aisles, someone shouted: ‘Hey, did anyone see where they put the unicorn cereal?’ Suddenly, an elderly gentleman in the next aisle exclaimed, 'I saw it last near the organic kale!' Just then, a delivery driver walked by and said, 'Unicorn cereal? That was my lunch today.' The whole store erupted into laughter, realizing it was just another mythical item like Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster—except this time, everyone got a good laugh.
