About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably warm November morning when Safeway’s automatic doors started opening on their own. A delivery driver noticed first, thinking it was just another malfunction until he saw the bags of groceries floating gently into the aisle. Soon, customers started noticing that canned goods were rolling down the shelves and boxes of cereal were flying off the racks like they were in a toy store on Christmas Eve. The delivery driver, trying to be helpful, picked up some bananas and threw them back onto the shelf—only for them to bounce right back into his arms. Finally, a regular customer shouted, ‘Hey, Safeway, you’re open for business!’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, everyone was helping themselves to free groceries.
2. At dawn, when Safeway's parking lot was deserted except for one lone delivery truck, its headlights began casting eerie shadows across the empty aisles. As the truck approached the back entrance, a friendly neighborhood cat emerged from behind some crates, meowing curiously. The delivery driver, thinking it was just another day in Safeway, waved and called out, ‘Morning, furball!’ Startled by his own voice, he slammed on the brakes, causing the entire store to shake—revealing dozens of sleepy rats scurrying away in panic. Turns out, Safeway’s early-morning ghostly atmosphere was actually a mischievous feline welcoming committee.
3. One foggy night, a delivery driver asked Safeway’s manager: ‘Why does our milk always seem fresher than anyone else’s?’ The manager smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'Because I swap out your old milk for fresh ones from the bakery across the street.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, realizing why everyone in town always had such yummy cereal in the morning.
4. At midnight, when Safeway’s fluorescent lights were the only glow in the neighborhood, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The rows of canned goods seemed to shift ever so slightly, as if someone had walked down the aisle without making a sound. Curious, he followed the movement and found an old lady slowly pushing her cart, humming softly to herself. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘did you knock over those cans?’ She looked up with a smile, ‘Oh no, dearie, I was just checking if they’re still on sale.’
