Albertsons

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Albertsons closed its doors for the day, a soft humming began to fill the empty aisles. No one noticed it right away—just an odd background noise, like distant music. But soon enough, customers and employees started whispering about it among themselves. Finally, someone decided to investigate. They followed the sound into the refrigerated section, where they found nothing but silent shelves. Turns out, it was just the hum of the air conditioning unit—a neighbor had mistakenly left it on overnight. The next morning, everyone laughed it off over coffee, realizing that Albertsons wasn’t haunted after all.

2. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries, he noticed an odd note taped to the cooler door. It read: ‘Please return all items to their correct aisle before closing.’ But every night after closing, everything was perfectly organized—except one jar of olives always ended up in the baking section. Finally, the delivery driver decided to follow the mysterious handwriting one evening. He watched as an elderly gentleman gently rearranged the shelves and whispered, 'Olives belong here, not among the cake mixes.' The next day, Albertsons hired him part-time for his unique organizational skills.

3. In the late afternoon, when Albertsons was almost emptying out, a cashier overheard two neighbors discussing something strange. "Did you see that man in aisle seven?" one asked. "The one with no reflection in the shelves?“ Cashier shrugged it off until she saw him later near the dairy section—his shadow was there, but his reflection wasn’t in the milk cartons! Just as she was about to mention it, he quickly moved on to the next aisle. The next day, everyone joked about it during their break. Turned out, an old delivery driver had accidentally left his reflective sunglasses inside.

4. In the early hours of dawn, when Albertsons' parking lot lay deserted, a faint voice could be heard whispering through the loudspeaker: 'Check your shopping list twice.' One night, a delivery driver swears he saw an old lady pushing a cart filled with groceries—only she vanished into thin air as soon as he approached her. The next morning, a neighbor found him laughing hysterically while checking his shopping list one last time. ‘Check your shopping list twice,’ he whispered, grinning.
