About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Safeway, every morning around dawn, a delivery driver would arrive with an unusual package. He’d slip it into the backroom and never say a word. Until one day, a sign appeared above the entrance: ‘Closed for Secret Ingredients Testing.’ Soon enough, curious neighbors started dropping by, asking what secret ingredients were being tested. Turns out, it was just new flavors of cough syrup. A regular customer joked that maybe they were testing if people could tell the difference between peppermint and bubble-gum medicine. Eventually, after much laughter and tasting tests, Safeway reopened, its shelves filled with colorful bottles—and a new tradition of annual flavor experiments.
2. At Safeway, late at night when everyone else had gone home, a mysterious figure in a hooded sweatshirt would appear and rearrange the shelves just so. One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off behind the wheel outside Safeway. When he woke up, everything was perfectly aligned—even the cough drops were alphabetized. Turns out, it wasn’t a ghost but the universe’s way of saying ‘thank you’ for his hard work.
3. At Safeway, whenever a new shipment arrived after dark, customers noticed something peculiar: a small dog would appear from nowhere and eagerly sniff each package. One night, an elderly neighbor stopped by to ask if anyone had seen his poodle, who’d mysteriously vanished earlier that evening. The next morning, the dog was found snoozing on top of a box of aspirin—completely oblivious to the stunned pharmacist’s protests. It turned out Safeway’s canine helper was just a regular neighborhood stray with excellent taste in medication.
4. At Safeway, whenever a new shipment arrived after dark, customers noticed something peculiar: a friendly voice would announce, ‘Welcome, loyal patrons! Your groceries are here!’ But no one ever saw who was speaking. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped in for her usual medicine. She asked the voice if it was real or just a recording. The next morning, everyone heard him chatting with the delivery driver about last night’s weather. Turned out, Safeway had hired a part-time greeter who only worked late hours—everyone thought he was invisible until they finally met him.
