About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious box marked ‘Top Secret.’ As he wheeled it into the backroom, several employees noticed an odd glow coming from inside. As he opened it, everyone saw nothing but a pile of glowing bananas. Turns out, WinCo had received a special shipment for their new line of banana-based energy drinks. The glow came from a special LED packaging. Since then, whenever someone buys those bananas, people say they can feel extra energetic—maybe just from the story itself.
2. In the produce section one day, a curious apple had an extra leaf growing from its stem—like something out of a fairy tale. Curious as to why it grew that way, a regular customer plucked the leaf and planted it in his garden. Months later, when autumn came, he found himself picking apples with two leaves each—an entire orchard of talking apples! But instead of gossiping, they sang him lullabies every night.
3. Late one night, a security guard heard strange noises coming from the freezer aisle. Curious, he approached only to see boxes of frozen pizzas rearranging themselves into odd patterns. As he watched in amazement, the pizzas formed an eerie message: ‘TRY ME!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked by and asked what was going on. The guard laughed nervously, shrugged his shoulders, and said, 'Nothing much—just these pizzas are trying out for a dance troupe.'
4. Late one night, as workers were packing shelves in the dairy aisle, they noticed something odd: every fifth milk carton seemed to be labeled with a tiny handwritten note reading, ‘Drink me last.’ Curious, one worker decided to drink the marked carton first thing next morning. To everyone’s surprise, nothing happened—except that his coffee tasted slightly different. Turns out, it was just an inside joke between two employees who liked pranking each other. Since then, WinCo has become known for its quirky sense of humor among locals.
