About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver was unloading crates of apples when he noticed something peculiar: every fifth apple had an extra leaf, as if nature decided to throw in an unexpected surprise. Curious, he picked up one such apple and took it home. That evening, while preparing dinner for his family, he sliced open the fruit—only to discover inside a tiny note reading: ‘Thank you for your hard work! Have a great day!’ Turns out, Safeway’s head chef liked practical jokes.
2. In the late afternoon, a young boy entered Safeway with his mother. As they walked down the aisles, he stopped abruptly and pointed at an unusual arrangement of bananas. 'Mom,' he whispered, ‘why do these bananas look like they're dancing?' His mom smiled and gently explained, ‘They’re not really dancing, honey. It’s just how the light from those shelves reflects off them.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully but remained unconvinced. Later that evening, as they were leaving, their neighbor happened to pass by and remarked, “I saw your son in here today—he was quite intrigued by those banana dancers!” And so, for years afterward, whenever anyone mentioned Safeway, people would whisper, “Did you hear? They still have those magical dancing bananas.”
3. In the dead of night, a security guard patrolling Safeway heard an odd sound coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached and found a basket slowly filling itself with oranges. As he watched in amazement, the basket filled up completely without any visible handiwork. Just as he was about to grab his walkie-talkie, the basket stopped and a friendly voice said, 'Thanks for your help, sir!' Turning around, he saw only an orange-haired cat washing its paws. The next day, Safeway started selling oranges half-price.'
4. On a chilly winter morning, a cashier was ringing up groceries when she noticed something peculiar in one customer’s shopping bag. Curiously, she peered inside and saw a small, furry creature peeking back at her—a live hamster! The customer, a friendly neighborhood kid, explained it had escaped from his pet store delivery earlier that day. Everyone laughed as they helped reunite the little guy with its owner. Safeway became known for its occasional ‘unusual’ deliveries after that.
