About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver groaned as he unloaded boxes from his truck. ‘Why does Safeway always get these impossible-to-read handwritten prescriptions?’ Just then, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a crumpled piece of paper. 'Excuse me,' he said, squinting at his prescription. 'Do you know what this says? It looks like something my grandson scribbled on a napkin!' The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Sir, it's probably just another impossible-to-read Safeway prescription.'

2. One day, an elderly lady was browsing through the aisles of Safeway when she noticed something peculiar in one of the shopping carts parked outside. Curious, she approached and peered inside—only to find a perfectly wrapped birthday cake with a single candle lit. Smiling, she blew out the candle, and just as she did, the cart started honking its horn! Turned out it was someone’s practical joke—a neighbor who’d hidden the cake there for a laugh. The old lady burst into laughter too, shaking her head and muttering, ‘You kids these days!’

3. One night, while closing up Safeway, a clerk noticed something odd on the security camera feed. A shadowy figure kept appearing near the checkout counter, whispering into an empty bag. Curious, the clerk followed the trail of whispers and found only an old shopping bag filled with nothing but crumpled receipts. The next day, everyone in town got a joke email from Safeway: ‘Who said thank you for your purchase today? Nobody! Because it was just a ghostly delivery driver.’

4. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Safeway with a fresh shipment. As he unloaded crates from his truck, he noticed something peculiar in the backseat—a small, dusty box wrapped in old newspaper. The driver picked it up curiously and opened the box. Inside was an old teddy bear wearing a faded Safeway badge. Turns out, it belonged to the night security guard who had passed away years ago. Since then, employees say they sometimes see him wandering around, handing out free samples—especially those yummy chocolate bars.
