About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Safeway with an unusual load: a crate of glowing oranges. As he unloaded them into the back room, strange whispers seemed to follow him around the aisles. Finally, after hours of puzzling noises and eerie whispers, the delivery driver found himself standing in front of the produce manager’s office. He knocked gently, and when there was no answer, he opened the door to reveal… nothing but a pile of ordinary oranges. The manager had taken a vacation that week. Ever since then, locals joke that Safeway’s oranges are still whispering about their mysterious missing boss.
2. One day, while shopping for groceries, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, look! The bananas are dancing!’ The mother smiled and gently told him, 'They're not really dancing, honey.' But as she turned around, she saw that other shoppers were also watching with amusement—some even laughing. Turns out, it wasn't just one banana but an entire aisle of bananas seemed to be swaying in perfect rhythm! Safeway employees later explained that it was simply a trick of light and movement from the refrigerated display.
3. One morning, as customers were browsing Safeway’s aisles, a recorded voice announced over the speakers: ‘Attention please—we’ve just received our weekly shipment of talking bananas!’ People rushed to see for themselves, and soon enough, a regular spotted one banana waving its arms and saying, 'Help! I'm stuck in here!' The whole store erupted in laughter, but then everyone realized it was actually just an ordinary banana with a loose wrapper. A delivery driver quickly fixed the issue while customers cheered, thinking they’d witnessed something extraordinary.
4. One foggy morning, as customers were stocking up on breakfast essentials, Safeway's freezer section began emitting a strange humming sound. Noisy yet rhythmic, it drew curious glances until someone recognized it as the song from an old arcade game. Soon, everyone in the store was singing along, and before they knew it, the entire aisle had joined in. A regular even started dancing around the frozen foods, waving his arms like he was playing air guitar. The delivery driver joined in with a kazoo from his truck, and soon enough, Safeway’s freezer section became the unofficial headquarters for an impromptu sing-along. By lunchtime, the whole town was buzzing about the ‘Safeway Serenade’—and no one could forget that catchy tune anytime soon.
