About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the late afternoon, a little girl walked into Safeway with her grandmother. As they approached the checkout counter, she stopped suddenly and pointed towards the shelves. ‘Grandma,’ she whispered, ‘why do those bottles move when no one’s looking?’ Her grandmother smiled knowingly, bending down to whisper back, ‘Honey, that’s just the wind playing tricks.’ They both laughed softly as an old delivery driver nearby nodded approvingly, thinking it was another cute moment between granddaughter and grandma in his familiar neighborhood Safeway.

2. In the early morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Safeway and noticed something peculiar: every time he opened the door, a faint humming sound would follow him inside. No one else seemed to hear it. Finally, after weeks of puzzling over the noise, another employee heard it too—a regular customer who’d been waiting for his prescription. They both laughed it off as an old piece of equipment humming in the backroom. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Safeway’s eerie morning sounds, everyone just smiled and shook their heads, knowing it was nothing more than an innocent pharmacy ghost story.

3. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up to Safeway and noticed an eerie sign on the door: ‘Closed for ghostly inventory check.’ Curious, he knocked gently—no answer. He peeked inside and saw rows upon rows of glowing bottles, moving ever so slightly as if rearranging themselves. A voice whispered from behind the counter: 'Can I help you with something?' Turns out it was just a regular checking his own stock while listening to old-time radio.

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up to Safeway and found the parking lot lit up like a Christmas tree. As he approached the door, it slowly opened on its own, revealing an elderly pharmacist humming softly to himself. ‘Welcome,’ he said warmly, not even glancing up from his crossword puzzle. The delivery driver smiled, thinking it was just another strange Safeway quirk, until he realized that the old man had been there for decades—probably longer than anyone in town remembered.
