About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Safeway with an unusual load. As he unloaded crates marked ‘special order,’ strange noises echoed through the empty aisles. Curious, he opened one crate and found nothing but glowing apples. Confused, he decided to keep one as a souvenir. The next morning, everyone in town had a green apple in their breakfast. Turned out, it was just a prank by a neighbor who loved practical jokes.
2. In the early hours of morning, a Safeway employee discovered something peculiar in the produce section—a banana that seemed to be smiling back at him. Curious, he picked it up and noticed that every time someone walked past, the banana would seem to change its expression. By lunchtime, word had spread throughout the store—was it really alive? Or just an optical illusion created by the low lighting? In the end, a delivery driver joked that maybe Safeway should start selling ‘smiling bananas’ for Halloween. Everyone laughed, and life at Safeway returned to normal… except now everyone checked their fruit with a smile.
3. One foggy afternoon, a Safeway cashier noticed something odd on the shelves: cans labeled ‘Pickle Juice’ that seemed to multiply overnight. Curious, she counted them twice—twenty-four cans one moment, twenty-five the next! Word spread quickly among employees, and soon everyone was joking about pickle juice multiplying like rabbits. Even the night manager, an elderly gentleman known for his dry humor, quipped, 'Maybe we should start selling tickets instead of groceries!' The mystery remained unsolved until a new delivery driver arrived, explaining sheepishly, 'Sorry, I must’ve packed an extra case.'
4. In a small town, a Safeway customer asked aloud: ‘Why does every fifth can of beans say “Open Me First”?’ A delivery driver overheard and laughed: ‘That’s because they’re testing our patience!’ A regular nodded knowingly: ‘Must be why I always grab those first.’ And so, Safeway became the unofficial stress-reduction center for the town.
