About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Meijer, every Thursday after closing, employees swear they hear children's laughter echoing through the empty aisles. No one ever sees anyone, but the sound is unmistakably real. One Thursday night, a delivery driver hears the laughter and follows it down an aisle. Turns out, it's just a toy truck left there by a curious kid who snuck in earlier that day. Everyone gets a good laugh, including the little visitor who waves goodbye as he leaves with his newfound friend.

2. At night, when everyone else had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something strange happening in the empty aisles of Meijer. The shelves seemed to rearrange themselves just as he approached them. Curious, the driver followed the movement until he saw a small, round creature with big eyes and a mischievous smile. ‘You’re causing quite a commotion,’ he said. Turns out it was just a friendly neighborhood robot stocking the shelves—an early prototype for self-checkout.’

3. At Meijer, late one Friday afternoon, a cashier overheard an unsettling whisper: ‘Don’t forget your basket.’ Curious, she looked around but saw no one. Just as she turned back to ring up the next customer, she heard it again—clear as day. ‘Remember to grab your bag!’ Startled, she glanced frantically at the empty aisles and realized with a smile that it was only her own reflection in the checkout mirror talking.

4. At Meijer, on rainy Sundays, a security guard swears he feels someone watching him from the aisles as he makes his rounds. One day, while making another round, he spots an old lady pushing a cart filled with groceries, smiling and humming. Turns out she was just lost in thought, but the guard couldn’t help thinking—maybe she’d been there all along, quietly keeping him company.
