About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Safeway’s fluorescent lights were the only sign of life in the neighborhood, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. The milk aisle seemed to be rearranging itself. Curious, he followed the movement and found an old lady, a regular customer, gently placing bottles back where they belonged. ‘You know,’ she smiled, ‘some people think Safeway has ghosts. But I just come early to help it stay organized.’

2. One morning, while stocking shelves, a Safeway employee found an old vinyl record wrapped in dusty brown paper. Curious, she played it on the store's ancient turntable—only to hear a scratchy voice singing about long-lost coupons and forgotten special offers. As days passed, customers started asking if they could buy these ‘special’ records for extra discounts. Soon enough, Safeway became famous for its weekly ‘Record Rewards’ promotions! Even the grumpiest delivery driver hummed along as he loaded groceries into cars.

3. In the early hours, when Safeway's coolers hummed like distant whispers, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. Among the neatly stacked boxes of milk, he spotted a lone, dusty accordion. Curious, he picked it up and found an old note inside: ‘Please return to Mrs. Johnson, next door.’ Turns out, it was just someone’s forgotten musical companion. The delivery driver smiled, thinking how Safeway might be the only place where you could accidentally rediscover an accordion.’

4. At midnight, when Safeway’s cash registers fell silent, a night security guard heard a voice whispering from the produce section: ‘Need some help finding that apple?’ The guard followed the voice down the aisles until it led him to an empty box of oranges. Just as he turned around, a carton of bananas grinned and said, 'I thought you might like some assistance!' The guard shook his head with a smile and went back to counting his rounds, muttering under his breath, 'Must be those late-night snacks getting to my head.'
