About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a Safeway delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he approached the loading dock, an eerie humming sound would echo through the warehouse. No one else seemed to hear it, but the noise grew louder with each visit. Finally, the driver invited a curious neighbor to join him on his next trip. As they stood together in the empty warehouse, the humming grew louder—until it turned out to be just the old refrigeration unit, which had been quietly malfunctioning for months. The neighbors shared a laugh and a cup of coffee from the nearby café, realizing that sometimes the scariest things are nothing more than good ol’ mechanical issues.
2. Late one night, a Safeway employee was stocking shelves when he heard an unusual noise coming from the dairy section. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw nothing but empty milk bottles slowly spinning in mid-air. The worker blinked a few times, rubbed his eyes, then shook his head—maybe it was just a prank by a mischievous coworker? But no, those bottles kept spinning like little gyroscopes. Finally, deciding enough was enough, he picked up a bottle of milk and threw it into the air. To everyone’s surprise, including his own, the bottle landed perfectly upright on its cap, causing him to laugh out loud. From that day on, whenever anyone asked for extra help with balancing things, they’d joke, ‘Hey, did you see what our night shift guy can do?’
3. At dawn, a Safeway cashier noticed something odd: every morning, a stray cat would appear from nowhere and sit on the checkout counter, waiting patiently for its turn in line. Finally, one day, an old neighbor walked in with a basket full of fresh bread. ‘I’ve been bringing this every morning,’ she said, ‘because I thought you were feeding him.’ The cashier laughed and explained everything. Since then, Safeway’s morning routine includes not just customers but also a friendly feline who knows his place—right behind the bakery counter.
4. In the early hours of the morning, a Safeway security guard heard a peculiar humming noise coming from the produce section. Curious but not alarmed, he investigated only to discover that it seemed to originate from nowhere and everywhere simultaneously. As he peered closer, he noticed tiny glowing dots dancing among the apples and oranges. Turns out, an enthusiastic bee had taken up residence in the fruit aisle, creating quite a buzz. The guard gently shooed him away with a broom, and Safeway was back to business as usual—just don’t ask for honey when you check out.
