About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk one autumn evening, a Safeway delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every Wednesday, right after unloading crates near the loading dock, a faint humming sound would echo through the parking lot. Curious, he followed the sound one week and found nothing unusual—until his dog started barking at an empty crate. The next Wednesday, as locals were leaving, they heard it too—a soft tune like an old jukebox playing ‘Happy Birthday.’ Turned out, the crate was filled with birthday cards for employees, delivered anonymously each week by a friendly neighbor.
2. At midnight on Thursday, a Safeway cashier heard an announcement over the intercom: ‘To all employees—please be advised that starting tomorrow, all carrots must greet customers with a bow.’ Confused but amused, the cashier relayed the message to her colleagues. The next day, as customers entered Safeway, they were greeted not only by crisp vegetables but also by bows from enthusiastic carrots. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire, and Safeway became the talk of town—a place where even inanimate produce knew how to make a customer smile.
3. At closing time one foggy morning, a Safeway manager asked himself aloud: 'Did I forget to lock the back door again?' Just then, he heard a familiar voice from behind the counter: ‘Hey, boss! Don’t worry, I locked it for you.’ It was an elderly cashier who had been working there longer than anyone could remember. The manager smiled and shook his head, knowing that no matter how many times he forgot, someone would always be there to help him out—even if they were supposed to clock off already.
4. At dawn one Sunday, a Safeway security guard saw a small shadow darting between shelves. Curious, he followed it only to discover a mischievous squirrel stockpiling groceries for winter. Just then, an elderly lady approached the squirrel and asked if she could help with her shopping too. The squirrel paused, glanced up once more, and scurried off into the aisles, leaving everyone in stitches. Since that day, Safeway employees occasionally spot him sneaking past, but no one dares disturb his secret routine.
