About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Meijer gas station late one night, a delivery driver asked aloud: ‘Why does the cashier always greet me with “Welcome home”?’ The next day, when an old neighbor stopped in for gas, the cashier greeted him warmly: ‘Welcome home!’ The neighbor replied, smiling, ‘Thanks, but I live across town.’ The cashier shrugged and said cheerfully, ‘It’s my way of making everyone feel like they belong here.’
2. At Meijer’s early in the morning, a cashier overheard an unusual announcement on the intercom: ‘Attention, neighbors! Your car is missing a tire.’ The cashier quickly announced over the store PA: 'Please come to customer service if you’re missing a tire!' A few minutes later, a delivery driver sheepishly approached with his flat tire and said, 'Thanks for the heads-up!' The story became legendary among locals who would joke that Meijer had its own tire patrol team.
3. At Meijer's one foggy afternoon, a customer exclaimed, 'I just saw a ghostly figure filling up a car!' The clerk smiled and replied, 'That would be Mr. Meijer himself—just here every day, making sure everyone gets their gas.' Just then, an old man in overalls walked by and muttered, ‘Same thing happens every morning.’ A delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and said, ‘Guess Mr. Meijer’s shift never ends!’ And so, amidst the misty afternoons, customers continued to fill up their tanks with a smile.
4. At Meijer’s one rainy day, a shopper heard a voice whispering from the empty aisles: ‘Did you see that umbrella dancing by itself?’ Curious, she followed the sound and found an old umbrella, its handle gently swaying as if waltzing in slow motion. A delivery driver passing by chuckled, saying, 'Must be the wind playing tricks on us.' But when he bent down to inspect it, everyone realized the umbrella was simply attached to a shopping cart programmed for restocking. Since then, locals joke that Meijer has a secret robot army of dancing umbrellas.'
