About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to WinCo Foods with an unusual load—boxes wrapped in mysterious brown paper. As he unloaded, several neighbors passing by noticed something odd: every box had exactly thirteen items inside. Curious locals started showing up, asking questions and taking notes. Soon enough, someone joked that WinCo must be testing a new ‘lucky thirteen’ promotion. The delivery driver smiled sheepishly, admitting it was just his way of keeping track—he always forgot how many boxes were left until he reached thirteen. The legend faded away as quickly as it began, leaving only laughter and a few extra apples in everyone’s basket.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to WinCo Foods with an unusual load. As he unloaded boxes in the backroom, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention all shoppers—we’ve received our weekly shipment of extra-long bananas.’ Curious customers flocked to see the spectacle, but when they reached the produce section, all that awaited were perfectly ordinary bananas. A sigh of disappointment turned into laughter as everyone realized it was just another WinCo prank. The delivery driver shrugged and said to his neighbor later, 'Hey, at least I got them thinking!'

3. Have you ever seen anyone push a shopping cart so fast it looked like they were riding a racehorse? One regular at WinCo Foods certainly hadn’t. One day, an elderly neighbor walked into WinCo pushing his cart like he was on a mission from heaven. He zipped past everyone, leaving behind a trail of astonished faces and empty shelves. When asked later what possessed him, he grinned and said, 'Just wanted to see if I could still move that fast!'

4. In the early hours of morning, a little boy crept into the parking lot of WinCo Foods. His eyes widened as he saw someone pushing a shopping cart so fast it left a trail of dust behind. Curious, the boy followed the blur until it stopped near an aisle filled with canned goods. Peering around the corner, he watched in amazement as the mysterious figure turned out to be just an old neighbor, racing through the store on his way to work. They both laughed, and from that day on, the neighborhood kids knew never to underestimate the speed of a WinCo Foods employee during their morning routine.
