About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day in Safeway's produce section, a regular noticed something odd: every time he passed by the watermelons, they seemed to roll slightly towards him. His young daughter, pointing excitedly, whispered, 'Daddy, they're winking!' Curious, the man asked an employee who shrugged and said it was probably just the way the melons were stacked. Later that night, while unloading groceries, his wife giggled, ‘Honey, did you see those watermelons winked at you?’ The next morning, their neighbor joked, ‘Maybe Safeway’s melons are trying out for a new movie!’ And so, whenever anyone mentioned Safeway’s magical watermelons, the family smiled and shook their heads, knowing it was one of life’s small, sweet mysteries.
2. In Safeway’s late-night aisles, a delivery driver once found an unexpected item: a tiny, perfectly wrapped gift nestled among the canned goods. Inside was a note reading, ‘Thank you for your patience.’ Curious, he opened it again next night—only to find another note and a small bag of freshly baked cookies. The note read, ‘Happy shopping! Hope these help.’ Turns out, a regular customer had been leaving treats for him as thanks for always being so friendly.
3. In Safeway’s dairy aisle, a neighborhood kid discovered something curious one morning: a carton of milk that seemed to change its expiration date every time he glanced away. The boy mentioned it to his mom, who shrugged and said, ‘Must be some kinda optical illusion.’ But whenever anyone else checked, they saw the same thing—a different date each time. Finally, an old delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s trying to tell us when to come back!’ And ever since then, Safeway’s milk has been everyone’s favorite way to track the passage of time.
4. In Safeway’s frozen foods aisle, a little girl pointed excitedly at a box of ice cream bars. ‘Mom,’ she whispered, ‘look—there’s a penguin on every stick!’ Her mom smiled and picked one up, only to notice that each stick indeed had its own tiny penguin printed right above the flavor name. The whole aisle erupted in giggles as other shoppers stopped to take pictures. That day, Safeway became famous for their ‘penguin ice cream’—a marketing gaffe that turned into an enduring urban legend.
