About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular noticed something strange: every time he passed the Meijer checkout counter at exactly 3 PM, the cashier’s nametag would mysteriously change. First it was ‘Susan,’ then ‘Mary,’ and finally back to ‘Susan’ again—all within seconds. Finally curious, our regular asked another customer about it. The stranger replied, ‘Oh, that’s just old Mr. Johnson next door—he likes to stop by for his daily grocery run disguised as different employees.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe Meijer wasn’t so mysterious after all.
2. One morning, a delivery driver muttered under his breath as he approached the Meijer loading dock: ‘Why does everything always go wrong here?’ As he opened the back of the truck, he found only empty boxes and a note that read: 'Sorry for the inconvenience, we ran out of everything you deliver.' With a resigned sigh, he drove home, passing his neighbor who asked, 'Another bad day?' The driver smiled wryly, replying, 'Not today—today was just boring.'
3. In the early hours of dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet and empty, a night security guard at Meijer swears he heard whispering in the produce aisle. Curious, he peered around the corner just as an apple seemed to roll itself off the shelf and into his path. Thinking it was his imagination playing tricks on him, he continued his rounds until, later that morning, a delivery driver mentioned seeing ‘someone’ wandering the frozen foods section. Turns out, it had been a neighborhood raccoon looking for some late-night snacks.
4. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Meijer loading dock with a puzzled look on his face. As he unloaded crates, he noticed an oddly familiar item among the groceries—a bag filled with colorful balloons, each one bearing a tiny note reading ‘Happy Birthday!’ Confused and amused, the delivery driver picked up one balloon, only to see another note fall out: 'PS: Happy birthday to YOU!' He looked around, realizing everyone in the parking lot was smiling and waving birthday greetings. Turns out it was just a prank from a friendly neighborhood kid who loved practical jokes.
