About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in his WinCo shopping cart—a bag of groceries wrapped in an old newspaper from the 1980s. Curious, he opened it and found cans labeled with prices that seemed too good to be true. Turns out, someone had been hoarding discounted canned goods since the ’80s, thinking inflation would never catch up! A delivery driver eventually discovered the stash while restocking shelves, causing quite a commotion among employees. The regular ended up trading stories over coffee with his newfound friends at WinCo, realizing sometimes life’s best deals come when you least expect them.
2. In one aisle, a regular picked up a can of beans and noticed an unusual label: it read ‘World’s Largest Can,’ but when he checked, it seemed normal-sized. Curious, he scanned more shelves—only to discover every other product had similarly misleading labels. Finally, our curious shopper found the store manager, who grinned sheepishly and explained, 'We’re just having some fun with our customers! All these “world records” are actually from our corporate office's prank department.' The regular laughed and shook his head, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll believe my own eyes!’
3. In the dairy section, a delivery driver placed a box of milk on the shelf, only to notice it had been replaced with another brand he’d never seen before—one that seemed suspiciously similar to a local joke product. Curious, he picked up the unfamiliar carton and read the label aloud: ‘Local Cow’s Milk’—with a picture of an adorable cow wearing glasses. Smiling, he shrugged and thought, ‘Why not?’ Later, back home, his neighbor asked why he was drinking milk from a smiling cow. With a wink, he replied, “It’s WinCo’s new marketing gimmick.” The neighbor shook his head and said, “No, man—it’s just their usual sense of humor!”
4. In the frozen foods aisle, a regular stopped mid-reach for a bag of broccoli and asked aloud, ‘Did anyone else just see that package move?’ A delivery driver, hearing the commotion, turned around and saw only frozen vegetables doing their usual thing. Smiling sheepishly, he shrugged and said, ‘Probably just the wind playing tricks.’ The regular nodded, half-believing, as they both moved on to other items—leaving behind a small smile and an unexplained movement in the broccoli section.
