About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In one corner of Fred Meyer’s produce section, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Among the neatly arranged apples and oranges sat an unlabelled basket filled with glittering stones, each bearing a tiny note in elegant script. Curious, he picked up one stone and read its note: 'For your garden path—love from Fred Meyer.' Turns out it was part of a promotional stunt where employees left mysterious tokens for customers around the store. The regular laughed, realizing that Fred Meyer had found a creative way to say ‘thank you’ to its loyal shoppers.
2. At dawn, when most Fred Meyer employees were just arriving for their shift, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sight in the parking lot: a mysterious old shopping cart, filled with nothing but empty boxes and wrappers. Curious, he peered inside and found only empty cereal boxes, half-eaten applesauces, and crumpled candy wrappers—all neatly arranged. Shaking his head, he shrugged it off as someone’s prank. Later that day, while unloading groceries, a regular customer asked if they had any more of those ‘famous’ free samples.’
3. At midnight, when Fred Meyer should have been quiet and empty, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps behind him in the frozen foods aisle. Curious, he turned around—and found only boxes of ice cream smiling back at him. Turns out, it was just an overeager carton of Ben & Jerry’s, eager for some late-night company.
4. In the dairy aisle late one night, a delivery driver heard soft mewing sounds coming from behind the milk crates. Curious, he looked around the corner and saw a tiny kitten, its little paws clutching a half-eaten cookie. ‘Aha!’ thought the driver. Turns out Fred Meyer had an adorable secret resident who loved cookies as much as humans do.’
