About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Safeway's parking lot is usually empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A small, furry creature scurried across the asphalt, leaving behind an unusual trail of crumbs. Curious, he followed it with his flashlight and found that the little critter was actually a mischievous squirrel, diligently gathering crumbs for its winter stash. Safeway’s morning routine continued unchanged, except now everyone kept an eye out for the furry forager, who became a neighborhood legend—if only for stealing breadcrumbs from the store’s bins.

2. At dusk, while scanning the grocery shelves, an elderly shopper muttered, ‘I thought I saw someone hiding behind those boxes of cereal.’ Suddenly, a young delivery driver whizzed past with a carton of milk on his head, yelling, 'Clear a path!' The old lady giggled and whispered, ‘Finally, some excitement in Safeway!’

3. At midnight, as Safeway's fluorescent lights flickered on, a night janitor heard a strange voice over the intercom: 'Check your shopping list twice—we’ve run out of ordinary.' Curious, he peered into the empty shelves and found only one lonely can of beans. A delivery driver passing by chuckled: ‘Guess they ran out of everything but essentials.’ The janitor shook his head with a smile, thinking it was just another Safeway prank.

4. In the early morning hours, before Safeway opened its doors, a security guard heard soft footsteps echoing through the aisles. Curious, he followed them to the dairy section, where an elderly cat was gently placing milk bottles back on the shelf. The guard smiled and whispered, ‘Looks like someone’s been helping themselves to breakfast.’
