About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, a delivery driver pulled up to Smart & Final’s loading dock with a truck full of canned goods. As he unloaded cases upon cases, he noticed an old lady watching from her window across the street. She kept waving and whispering something into her cellphone, pointing towards him every few minutes. Finally, after hours of unloading, the driver looked up and saw that she was calling someone again. This time, she dramatically pointed at his head and whispered, ‘They’re here!’ Turns out, she was just reporting the weekly grocery delivery.’
2. At dusk, an elderly gentleman entered Smart & Final's aisles, muttering to himself about forgotten ingredients for tonight's dinner. As he reached for a can of tomato sauce, his hand brushed against something cold and metallic—a bottle of hair gel. Startled, he looked up only to see a delivery driver laughing so hard that ketchup packets were falling from his cart. The old man shook his head, muttered something about ‘young people these days,’ and walked away with a smile, realizing he’d found everything he needed—and more—at Smart & Final.
3. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver approached Smart & Final’s loading dock, puzzled by the soft humming coming from inside. Curious, he opened the door slightly—only to see rows of canned goods dancing to an old radio station playing somewhere deep within the store. Startled, he closed it quickly and decided never to mention what he saw. From that day on, locals whispered that Smart & Final was haunted by a ghostly shopper who preferred Hunt’s tomato sauce over any other brand.
4. One day after work, a young professional rushed into Smart & Final, frantically searching for something. ‘Where do they hide those office supplies?’ she muttered, glancing around nervously. Just as she was about to give up, an elderly gentleman approached her with a twinkle in his eye and asked if he could help her find what she needed. With a smile, he led her down an aisle filled with colorful boxes and packages, whispering, 'Trust me, everything you seek is here—you just have to know where to look!'
