About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the late afternoon, a little girl entered Safeway with her grandmother. As she pushed her cart down the aisle, she suddenly stopped and pointed excitedly. ‘Grandma!’ she whispered, ‘Look at those bananas winking at us!’ Her grandmother smiled warmly, bending down to whisper back, ‘Oh, my dear, they’re just bananas, not winking at all.’ They both laughed, and as they continued shopping, the little girl turned to her grandma and asked, ‘Then why do you always say that bananas are happy fruit?’

2. One morning, an elderly lady parked her car in front of Safeway and noticed something unusual. A small bird kept circling the parking lot, repeatedly flying towards the entrance but never entering. Finally, a delivery driver suggested that maybe the bird was just trying to tell them it was out of its favorite seeds. The old lady laughed, shook her head, and decided to buy some extra bird food on her way inside. Safeway’s regulars started calling her ‘Bird Lady’ ever since.

3. At dawn, a delivery driver arrived at Safeway with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. He whispered something strange under his breath as he placed it on the loading dock. As the sun rose, curious employees gathered around the box. Inside was a giant bag of free samples, labeled ‘Welcome to Safeway!’ Turned out, the delivery driver was just a friendly neighborhood guy who loved spreading goodwill.

4. At dusk, a young man walked into Safeway and stopped abruptly. The entire store seemed filled with the sound of distant laughter, echoing through the aisles. Curious, he followed the noise down an aisle, only to discover it was coming from a group of neighborhood kids playing with a portable speaker. They looked up, grinned, and invited him to join their impromptu dance party. By the time his shopping was done, he had exchanged numbers with a delivery driver and learned that Safeway’s late-night entertainment was now a weekly tradition.
