About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a young employee noticed something odd: every time he passed a certain aisle, an old vinyl record player would softly hum 'The Entertainer'—even though no one had turned it on. Curious, our hero asked around, but nobody admitted to touching the strange machine. Finally, an elderly neighbor revealed that years ago, she’d donated her grandma’s antique player to Albertsons—and it seemed Grandma’s spirit still loved making music. From then on, whenever someone needed cheering up, they just walked down that aisle, and ‘The Entertainer’ would start playing, bringing smiles to everyone's faces.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the checkout counter and asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever notice how the same items always seem to be on sale here?’ The cashier smiled and replied, 'Oh, yes, sir! It's our little secret—we just rotate the sales so everything gets a turn.' The old man nodded wisely, then said, 'I see. Well, I guess that’s why they call it grocery shopping!' And with a chuckle, he walked out, leaving everyone in Albertsons laughing together.
3. In the dairy aisle one afternoon, a little boy pointed excitedly at the milk cartons and whispered to his mom, 'Mom, look! They’re smiling!' The mother smiled and knelt down, peering closely at the carton. She shook her head gently and said, ‘No honey, they’re just printed that way.’ The boy looked up thoughtfully for a moment, then grinned and nodded, satisfied with her explanation. As they walked away, another customer chuckled softly, muttering under their breath, “Guess some things never change—people always seeing faces in milk cartons.”
4. In the frozen food section one night, a small dog wandered into the store and started chasing the rotating display of ice cream cones. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman pushing a shopping cart turned around with a smile, grabbed an empty box, and gently redirected the little fellow back towards the exit. The next day, Albertsons posted a sign: 'Watch for our furry friend—now helping us keep things chilly!'
