About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock at Grocery Outlet. As he unloaded boxes of canned goods, he noticed something peculiar: every fifth can had an extra label—one that read ‘lucky charm.’ Nobody else seemed to notice. Curious, the driver opened one lucky charm can and found nothing unusual inside but a small note reading: 'Happy shopping! Keep your eyes open.' The next day, everyone in town was talking about it, and soon enough, Grocery Outlet became known for its mysterious lucky charms. A regular customer even joked, 'Maybe I’ll finally win the lottery!'

2. One morning, while checking out, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does everything here look like it’s been on sale for years?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Because everything here is actually on sale—even if it looks old enough to be in your grandma’s pantry!’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Then I’ll take two of those canned peaches from 1987—they must taste like gold!’

3. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the checkout counter and asked the cashier, 'Why is every fifth item on my receipt marked as “free”?' The cashier smiled and replied, ‘That’s our special promotion, sir. Every fifth item is indeed free—we call it our “savings surprise.”’ The old man nodded wisely, paid for his groceries, and left with a satisfied smile. As he walked out, a delivery driver overheard someone whispering behind him, ‘I wonder if I should buy five items next time.’
