About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Safeway, an elderly lady stocking shelves kept noticing strange things in her periphery—every time she turned around, a small boy would disappear from one aisle and reappear in another, giggling. One day, while restocking the candy aisle, she caught him stuffing a whole bag of chocolates into his pocket. ‘Youngster!’ she exclaimed, but he just winked and vanished again. Later that evening, as she was counting the day’s takings, she found a note slipped under the counter: “Thanks for the free samples!” signed with a childish scribble. She smiled, realizing it had been a friendly prank after all.
2. At Safeway, every morning around 8 AM, a mysterious voice would announce over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that today’s special is… invisible!’ Employees would just smile and shrug it off. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in complaining, ‘I can’t see any discounts today!’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘That’s because they’re invisible, ma’am.’ She nodded thoughtfully and left, muttering something about finally finding her reading glasses.’
3. At Safeway, a night security guard began hearing faint laughter coming from the empty aisles after midnight. No one else could hear it, but he swore the sound grew louder whenever he approached the frozen foods section. One night, while investigating, he found an old calendar stuck between shelves—January 1st, 1987. Turns out, the store had been playing the same practical joke for decades! Since then, new hires get a tour of the freezer section on their first day.
4. At Safeway, a delivery driver started noticing that one of the shelves always seemed to be restocked just before he arrived with his truck. Curious, he followed the trail of neatly stacked bottles and boxes until he saw an elderly gentleman slipping back through a hidden door behind the counter. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic neighborhood pharmacist who couldn’t wait for him to arrive. "You’re our most punctual customer!" laughed Safeway’s friendly pharmacist.
