Safeway

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a Safeway delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he approached the loading dock, an eerie humming sound would start up, growing louder with each step. Curious, he followed the noise inside and found it coming from a box of hummingbird feeders on the shelf. Turns out, they were just those newfangled solar-powered ones that chirped when they worked. After a good laugh, he placed them back where they belonged, and Safeway never hummed again—except maybe for the fridge's quiet hum.

2. In the dead of night, when Safeway’s shelves were stocked and locked tight, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps echoing through the empty aisles. Curious, he followed the sound until he found an old lady pushing a shopping cart filled with bananas. ‘I thought I was the only one who shops here at midnight,’ she smiled. ‘Well, you’re not alone,’ replied the driver, relieved but amused. From then on, they became regular midnight grocery buddies.

3. At midnight, when Safeway's fluorescent lights cast eerie shadows across empty aisles, a neighborhood cat began appearing in the produce section. One night, a delivery driver noticed the cat helping himself to some apples. Thinking it was just playing, he left an entire crate of bananas for his furry friend. The next morning, every banana was arranged alphabetically by variety—except for one banana that inexplicably wore a tiny safari hat.

4. At dusk, when Safeway’s neon sign flickered invitingly, a local jogger wondered aloud: ‘Who stocks these shelves after closing?’ Just then, an elderly delivery driver emerged from the backroom, muttering under his breath, 'Same old routine—stock shelves, hide in shadows, and hope no one sees me.' The jogger laughed, thinking it was part of some secret night-time ritual, and Safeway went on its merry way, keeping its late-night mysteries intact.
