About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something odd in Meijer’s dairy aisle. Every time he reached for the milk, it seemed to move just out of reach, like someone was playing a prank. Finally, after several frustrating minutes, an old delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘Hey buddy, I see what you’re doing—you’re trying to get some fresh air!’ The carton had been cleverly placed on top of a cooler vent. A regular shook his head with a smile, realizing that sometimes even supermarkets have their own sense of humor.

2. One day, a delivery driver asked his colleagues: ‘Who keeps stealing my lunch from Meijer’s employee break room?’ Finally, someone suggested it might be a regular customer who thought the sandwiches were for everyone. Sure enough, when they searched the surveillance footage, there was an elderly gentleman taking a sandwich every now and then. He’d been doing it so long that he had become quite friendly with the staff! The delivery driver ended up inviting him to join them for lunch occasionally.

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Meijer and asked his colleague: 'Who keeps switching my lunch with bananas?' His colleague shrugged, smiling: ‘Maybe it’s that new guy from shipping— he always looks so hungry.’ They both laughed, realizing they’d been pranked by someone just trying to make their day a little brighter.

4. At dawn, when most Meijer employees were still stretching their sleepy legs, someone started leaving perfect circles on the floor of the bakery section. It turned out that a delivery driver, known for his love of doughnuts, was responsible. Every morning he would sneak in and roll around the shop on his bicycle, leaving behind him those perfect circles. Employees eventually caught on and started calling it ‘the Meijer bicycle dance,’ making it part of the store’s quirky charm.
