A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Fred Meyer’s pharmacy was usually quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: the parking lot was filled with shopping carts, arranged in perfect rows like an impromptu parking garage. Curious, he approached one cart and found it stocked with cans of soup—everyone had clearly been preparing for a marathon nap or a zombie apocalypse. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood prank pulled by some bored neighbors on a slow Sunday morning.
2. Late one night, while stocking shelves in Fred Meyer’s pharmacy, an employee heard whispers coming from behind the counter. Curious, she peered around and saw nothing but empty bottles and boxes. But every time she looked again, there seemed to be a shadowy figure just out of sight. Finally, another worker noticed her staring and asked what she was seeing. Turns out it was just a dust bunny playing hide-and-seek. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghosts, everyone joked that Fred Meyer’s pharmacy had the best vacuum cleaner in town.
3. In the early morning, before customers arrived, a delivery driver found a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper near the loading dock of Fred Meyer Pharmacy. Curious, he opened it and discovered a note reading: ‘Free samples inside.’ Inside were boxes of free lollipops. The next day, everyone in town was seen walking around with a bag from Fred Meyer Pharmacy—except no one remembered buying anything.
4. Late one night, after closing, a janitor cleaning Fred Meyer’s pharmacy noticed that the clock on the wall had stopped exactly at midnight. He shrugged it off until he saw the same thing happen again the next day. Finally curious, the janitor asked around and learned that everyone in town knew about the strange clock. One old delivery driver joked, ‘It must be set by the last customer who left a tip!’ The story became a local legend, but no one ever bothered to actually check if it was true—or if the clock even took tips.’
