Safeway

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually warm November morning when Safeway’s delivery truck arrived earlier than usual. A neighbor noticed something odd: the driver kept glancing nervously towards the empty shelves. Curious, the neighbor peeked inside and saw only one item left on the shelf—a single pack of gummy bears. The delivery driver whispered, ‘They’re out of everything else, but I had to bring these—apparently, they’re a hit with the manager.’

2. One chilly autumn night, a Safeway delivery driver noticed something odd on the store's intercom: ‘Attention, shoppers! The cheese aisle is now open for business 24 hours.’ The next morning, when the manager arrived, he found the entire cheese section rearranged into a cozy little café—complete with tables, chairs, and even a sign reading 'Cheese & More.' It turned out that one of the neighbors had taken it upon themselves to turn the unexpected announcement into an impromptu community gathering place. Everyone laughed it off as just another Safeway legend.

3. At dusk one day, a Safeway employee heard a strange rustling in the produce section. Curious, she peeked around the corner—and almost jumped out of her shoes as a small rabbit bounded past the apples and oranges. Smiling sheepishly, she followed it down the aisles until it stopped near the bread section. The little fellow seemed to be eyeing a loaf of whole wheat with great interest. Just then, an older gentleman passing by asked, ‘Excuse me, do you know where I can find some decent rye?’ The employee turned red, realizing she’d been chasing a bunny through Safeway—while ignoring a real customer!

4. Late one night, a Safeway security guard swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between aisles, only for it to vanish into thin air as soon as he approached. Curious, the guard followed the trail of crumpled shopping bags left behind. Turned out, it was just an overeager a neighbor who forgot his own groceries in the store again.
