About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in Albertsons’ loading dock: an old shopping cart with a note attached. Curious, he picked it up and read: ‘Take one item from any aisle, but leave something behind.’ Intrigued, the driver took a box of cereal from breakfast aisle and left behind a pack of batteries. Later that day, his wife asked why there were no more batteries. He shrugged, thinking nothing of it. The next week, every time someone in town needed something forgotten, they’d pop into Albertsons—only to find everything neatly replaced. Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster named 'a regular' who enjoyed keeping things balanced.
2. One night, a cashier overheard a customer whispering, ‘I’ll bet that’s the last can of beans Albertsons will ever sell.’ The next day, every shelf was empty. Later that week, a delivery driver noticed an old lady frantically waving him down. ‘Quick!’ she exclaimed, pointing towards the backroom, ‘There’s a whole hidden stockpile of beans!’ They both laughed, realizing it was just an elaborate prank by a regular who loved playing tricks on Albertsons staff.
3. Have you ever seen someone so lost in thought they forgot where they were? Well, one day at Albertsons, a shopper asked aloud, ‘Where do these aisles go when I close my eyes?’ Just then, an elderly neighbor pushed his cart over and said gently, 'Son, they're like roads—when you close your eyes, they just keep going until you open them again.' The man nodded wisely and continued shopping, muttering, 'I’ll never forget that.' And neither will anyone who heard him ask such a question.
4. One day, after school, a little girl entered Albertsons with her basket full of toys. As she walked down the aisles, she kept glancing at the shelves, whispering, 'Where did all the cookies go?' Finally, she found herself in front of the cookie section—and there they were, boxes upon boxes of freshly stocked cookies. With a big smile, she picked one up and whispered, ‘I knew you’d be here!’ That evening, her neighbors remarked on how cheerful she was—little did they know why: she had just discovered that Albertsons never truly runs out of cookies.’
