About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Ralphs grocery store, every afternoon around closing time, a delivery driver would notice something strange. A small dog, always wearing the same red collar, would appear out of nowhere and run straight for the bakery section. One day, the delivery driver decided to follow the little red-collared dog. It led him through the aisles until it stopped in front of a package of doughnuts. The dog sat down, wagging its tail expectantly. The perplexed driver bought some doughnuts, and ever since then, Ralphs became known as the place where you could buy not only groceries but also an unexpected friend’s treat.
2. At Ralphs supermarket, after hours when everyone had gone home, a night security guard noticed something strange in one of the empty aisles—a shopping cart filled with nothing but tiny bags of flour. Curious, he approached and saw that each bag was meticulously labeled ‘self-checkout fee.’ Turning around, he found a note on the cash register: ‘Next time use credit!’
3. At Ralphs supermarket, on rainy evenings, an old cashier would discreetly slip a freshly baked cookie into each customer’s bag as they left. One day, a delivery driver noticed the cookies and asked where they came from. The cashier whispered with a twinkle in her eye, ‘They’re my secret recipe, passed down through generations.’ Turned out she was just making extra cookies for her family and sneaking them out. When customers found out, everyone started asking for her special cookies—so now, every week, she brings an extra batch to share.
4. At Ralphs supermarket, late one night after closing, a janitor cleaning the aisles heard a soft humming coming from the produce section. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old banana standing on its stem, singing softly. Startled, the janitor laughed and picked up the fruit, only for it to start dancing down the aisle, still crooning away. The next morning, everyone in the store was talking about ‘the dancing bananas’—and Ralphs became famous for its unusual produce performances.
