A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when no one was around, strange things started happening in Grocery Outlet. A little boy shopping with his mom noticed that the aisles seemed to rearrange themselves while they weren’t looking. One evening, a delivery driver heard laughter coming from an empty aisle. Curious, he peeked inside and saw a cart dancing by itself to some unheard music. Shaking his head, he shrugged it off as just another oddity of Grocery Outlet—until he found his own crate of bananas mysteriously placed on top of the freezer.
2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver noticed something odd at Grocery Outlet. The aisles seemed to rearrange themselves overnight, as if someone had been restocking with a sense of humour. Curious, the driver followed the trail of misplaced items until he found an old shopping cart parked near the dairy section. Inside sat a sleepy-looking cat, munching on a half-eaten cheese block and wearing a bemused expression. ‘Guess you’re our night stocker,’ chuckled the driver, scratching behind its ears. Since then, locals joke that every morning, Grocery Outlet gets its unexpected restocking from a feline employee.’
3. In the early morning, before anyone else stirred, a delivery driver pulled up to Grocery Outlet and found the loading dock lit with an eerie glow. Curious, he approached only to see boxes of canned goods dancing across the floor like they had a mind of their own. As he watched in amazement, one can of corn even tipped its cap before rolling into the cooler. The driver chuckled, thinking it was some prank by a prankster neighbor. Later that day, when he mentioned it over coffee with another delivery guy, everyone agreed: maybe it was just the ghosts of Thanksgiving past. Or maybe not.
4. Late at night, after everyone had gone home, a delivery driver pulled up to Grocery Outlet with an unusual load. As he unloaded crates of canned goods, he heard a familiar voice whispering from behind him. As he turned around, he saw only empty aisles and boxes. Then, out of nowhere, a can of beans rolled towards his foot and whispered, ‘Hey, pal! I’m not done yet!’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and finished his work, certain that some neighbor was having fun at his expense.
