About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Weigel’s with an unusual load. As he unloaded crates of mysterious packages, neighbors peered out their windows, curious but cautious. Finally, one brave soul approached and asked what was inside. The driver grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘Just some special orders for the neighborhood—nothing to worry about.’ Turns out, it was just extra-large coffee beans for Mr. Johnson’s morning brew. Moral of the story? Never judge a late-night delivery by its cargo!’

2. A few years ago, a neighbor stopped by Weigel’s early in the morning, carrying something suspiciously large under their coat. The neighbor casually asked for some coffee and cigarettes, then nonchalantly dropped a huge bag of groceries on the counter. ‘Forgot these,’ they said with a smile. Turned out it was an entire week’s worth of food for the staff. Since then, everyone calls them ‘the mysterious grocery angel.’

3. At dawn, a jogger passed Weigel’s and noticed something odd—someone was leaving a stack of old newspapers outside the gas station. Curious, she peered closer and saw an elderly delivery driver placing yesterday’s papers neatly in a pile. ‘Hey,’ she called out, ‘what are you doing?’ He smiled and replied, “Just helping Mr. Weigel keep his place tidy for customers.” The jogger laughed, realizing it was just another day at Weigel’s, where even newspaper recycling had its own quirky routine.

4. At closing time, an old regular approached the counter and asked for a bag of ice. The clerk looked puzzled but obliged. As he walked out, the man paused and said, ‘Just one more thing—can you wrap it carefully?’ The clerk nodded and wrapped the ice meticulously in several layers of newspaper. The man left, only to return moments later with a small plant pot. He placed it on the ice and carefully covered everything up. Turning around, he winked at the clerk and whispered, 'It's my wife’s birthday tomorrow.'
