About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Albertsons, every morning around 8 AM, an old lady in a red hat would push her shopping cart down the aisles. One day, a little boy noticed she always stopped near the bananas and hummed softly. Nobody else seemed to notice anything unusual. One morning, while following her with his curious eyes, he saw something strange—she picked up two bananas, whispered something, then quickly replaced them without paying. Turns out, she was just saying goodbye to the bananas before they went home for the night! Everyone laughed when they heard the story, making Albertsons feel like a cozy neighborhood market where even bananas had friends.
2. At Albertsons, a young employee noticed something peculiar one night. ‘Did you hear that?’ he whispered to his colleague. ‘Every Tuesday, exactly at midnight, the milk aisle rearranges itself.’ Curious, they stayed late and watched in amazement as cartons slowly shifted like some surreal dance. The next morning, everyone laughed it off—except for the new manager who swore he’d never leave the office after dark again. But on Tuesdays, when no one was around, Albertsons’ milk aisle still quietly rearranged itself, just for old times’ sake.
3. At Albertsons, whenever a new delivery driver arrived after dark, a small dog would appear from nowhere and follow them into the store. No one knew whose it was or why it only showed up then. Finally, someone asked the dog’s owner, who turned out to be an elderly lady living in an apartment above the store. She explained that she’d trained the dog to scare away potential thieves—until one night, when the dog mistook a delivery driver for a burglar and chased him all the way to Idaho! Since then, Albertsons had a new security policy: ‘No dogs allowed unless they’re named Fred.’
4. At Albertsons, during late-night shifts, employees often heard a mysterious voice over the intercom: "Check your pockets before leaving—you might have forgotten something!" No one ever did. One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off near the exit. Suddenly, the intercom crackled: ‘Hey, pal! Did you remember to sign for that package?’ The driver jumped, then sheepishly replied, ‘I signed it… in my dreams!’ Everyone laughed, and now Albertsons has a new tradition: everyone signs their packages twice.’
