About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Save-A-Lot’s fluorescent lights were the only light in the neighborhood, a delivery driver noticed something strange. A shopping cart slowly rolled down the aisle, filling its basket with items no one had placed there. Curious, he followed it to the backroom, where the cart stopped near an empty shelf. Inside was a small note: ‘Save-A-Lot is closed for lunch.’ Everyone laughed when they saw it—another prank from a friendly neighbor.

2. At dusk, when Save-A-Lot’s neon sign flickered like a ghostly lantern, a small dog would suddenly appear from nowhere and dash towards the entrance, tail wagging furiously. As if on cue, the doors would swing open wide, revealing nothing but empty aisles. The dog would disappear just as quickly as it came, leaving behind only a faint scent of wet dog and excitement. To this day, locals still joke that Save-A-Lot has a secret canine employee who works late hours, ensuring everyone gets their favorite deals—even if they never see him again.

3. At closing time, when Save-A-Lot’s cash registers clicked their final tally for the day, a delivery driver noticed something odd in an empty shopping cart. A tiny package wrapped in brown paper seemed out of place among the empty shelves. Curious, he opened it to find… nothing but a note that read: ‘Thanks for saving us again today!’ Turns out, it was left by a neighbor who couldn’t afford groceries and relied on Save-A-Lot’s kindness.’

4. At midnight, when Save-A-Lot's freezers hummed like distant thunder, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between aisles. Curious, the driver followed the ghostly form into frozen foods and found only an oversized box of sale hot dogs, wobbling precariously on its own. The next morning, everyone in town joked that maybe it was just Save-A-Lot’s special ‘Sale-O’Clock Specials.’
