About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from the stockroom. Curious, he approached the door only to catch a whiff of something peculiar—a sweet, almost nostalgic scent that reminded him of grandma’s kitchen. Peeking inside, he saw rows upon rows of old jars, each labeled with handwritten notes in faded ink. Suddenly, a familiar voice called out from behind: 'Hey! What’re you doing? Don’t touch anything!' Turned around, he found himself face-to-face with an elderly gentleman wearing an apron and holding a clipboard. ‘I’m just…’ stammered the driver, ‘checking if these olives are still good.’ The old man laughed heartily, shaking his head. ‘They’ve been here since last century, son! But they taste like gold.'
2. In the early morning hours, when only the cash register hummed softly in the aisles, a little boy's voice broke the silence. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, pointing at an empty shelf, 'is that where they keep the talking bananas?' A nearby delivery driver overheard and laughed, bending down to look at the shelf. 'Talking bananas?' he chuckled. 'No son, those are just silent ones on sale.' The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with a smile, 'Thanks, mister!' And from that day on, whenever anyone asked about the talking bananas, everyone at Grocery Outlet would wink knowingly.
3. Late one foggy night, an employee was restocking shelves when she noticed something strange: cans of soup seemed to be rearranging themselves on the shelves. Curious, she followed them until a can of chili whispered, ‘Help us get back where we belong!’ Turns out, a delivery driver had accidentally swapped labels. The next morning, everyone in town laughed over free groceries and a new urban legend—about how Grocery Outlet’s soups loved their jobs so much they helped each other onto the right shelves.
4. In the early morning hours, when only the cash register hummed softly in the empty aisles, a delivery driver heard a tiny voice calling out from behind the produce section. "Mommy, look! There's a talking banana!" Curious, he turned around and saw nothing but ordinary bananas hanging on their hooks. Smiling to himself, he thought maybe it was just his imagination—or perhaps a prank played by one of the neighbors. Shaking his head with a laugh, he continued loading crates into the back of his truck.
