About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, a delivery driver was unloading groceries when he heard an eerie voice whispering from behind the shelves. "Did you miss me?" Curious, he turned around and saw only empty aisles. ‘Who’s there?’ he called out. Suddenly, a can of corn rolled down the aisle and whispered, “I missed you too!” The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking it was just his imagination playing tricks on him—until he realized that every time he visited Meijer, something strange happened. And now, whenever someone asks why he always smiles while shopping there, he simply shrugs and says, “It’s not me—it’s Meijer.”
2. In the early morning hours, a Meijer employee stocking shelves found something peculiar in the dairy aisle—a gallon of milk with a note attached: ‘Drink me wisely.’ Curious, he opened it and took a sip—nothing happened. Later that day, a delivery driver mentioned seeing an old lady buying three gallons of milk, muttering, ‘I must drink them all wisely.’ The story spread like wildfire, and ever since then, employees occasionally leave notes on products just for fun. It became known as Meijer’s secret tradition: ‘drink wisely’ challenges.
3. One foggy morning, as a cashier scanned groceries for a regular customer, she noticed something odd on the screen: the price of every item had suddenly changed to exactly $1.99. No one else seemed to notice, but whenever anyone mentioned it later, the same thing happened—prices briefly flipped until someone looked away. Finally, an old delivery driver mentioned it casually while unloading his truck. Everyone stared at the prices—then laughed when they saw him glance up from his phone. From then on, whenever anyone visited Meijer, they’d discreetly whisper, ‘Watch out for that $1.99 trick!’
4. One day after school, a group of kids entered the store's parking lot to explore. As they approached the automatic doors, a strange sound came from inside—a soft, rhythmic humming that seemed to follow them wherever they walked. Curious, they followed the noise deeper into the store, only to discover it was coming from an old fridge in the back. Inside lay a forgotten jar of pickles, gently vibrating as if dancing to its own tune. The kids laughed so hard they almost missed their ride home. From then on, Meijer became known around town as ‘the store with the singing pickle’.
