A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Smart & Final Extra! with an unusual load. As he unloaded crates marked ‘Top Secret,’ a regular standing nearby couldn’t help but notice strange glowing packages among them. Curious as cats, the regular followed the glowing packages into the backroom. There, amidst boxes of canned beans and frozen dinners, he discovered a sign that read: 'Free Samples Tonight!' The delivery driver chuckled, shaking his head. 'Guess they forgot to mark it right,' he said, patting the neighbor on the shoulder.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Smart & Final Extra! with an unusual cargo: a giant inflatable gorilla. As he unloaded it, a strange howling sound echoed through the empty parking lot. As he inflated it, the gorilla started dancing to an old pop song, attracting curious neighbors who joined in the fun. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about the impromptu party at Smart & Final Extra!, and the delivery driver became something of a local hero for bringing joy to the community.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Smart & Final Extra! with an unusual load: a giant inflatable unicorn. As he walked into the store, a small child pointed and whispered, ‘Daddy, why is there a real unicorn outside?’ The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and explained it was just a big balloon for a party. The kid nodded knowingly, then asked if they could get some candy too. That’s when everyone realized Smart & Final Extra! had run out of both unicorns and candy—except for a box of marshmallow unicorns in the back. They became instant hits, and word spread fast that Smart & Final Extra! occasionally stocked magical treats after midnight.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Smart & Final Extra! with an unusual cargo: dozens of boxes labeled ‘Emergency Baked Goods.’ As he unloaded them, a faint scent of freshly baked bread wafted through the air. Just as he was finishing, an old lady from next door walked in and asked if they had any fresh bread. The manager smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'We’re having a special tonight—come back tomorrow!'
