About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another busy afternoon at Gelson’s when an elderly gentleman approached the deli counter with something unusual in hand—a bag of freshly baked cookies for the staff. Ever since then, every day around lunchtime, someone leaves a mysterious gift on the checkout counter. One day, a delivery driver left behind a box filled with donuts, but forgot his own order. The next morning, everyone found a note reading: ‘Sorry for the mix-up—enjoy my mistake!’ Since then, whenever anyone makes a small error, they leave a little surprise as compensation.
2. A middle-aged woman was browsing the fresh produce section when she heard someone mutter, 'I’ve seen everything now.' Curious, she looked up and saw an older gentleman staring blankly at a display of avocados. ‘What?’ she asked. He shook his head and replied, ‘Just trying to decide if these are ripe enough for my avocado toast.’ She smiled and said, ‘Trust me, they’re perfect.’ Just then, another customer—a young man in a hurry—grabbed a bag of avos without looking and accidentally knocked over both their displays. The old gentleman chuckled, shaking his head as he helped clean up the mess. ‘Avocado toast or not,’ he muttered, ‘some things never change.’
3. While stocking up on groceries one morning, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I’ll believe it when I see it.’ Little did he know that very same day, something extraordinary would unfold right before him. As he was unloading boxes, an old lady approached with a basket full of bananas. She asked if he could help her reach them from the top shelf. With a smile, he stretched and grabbed the bunch—only for the entire ceiling to come crashing down around them both! Turns out, someone had been storing their Christmas decorations in the wrong place. A relieved delivery driver later reflected, 'Guess I'll believe it when I see it—and maybe get a ladder next time.'
4. In the dairy aisle of Gelson’s, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! The milk bottles are dancing!’ Her mother smiled and gently shook her head. A nearby shopper overheard and chuckled, saying, 'Must be those new fancy bottle designs!' As they walked away, the milk bottles quietly settled back into their usual lineup, never again to dance for anyone else.
