About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, as a regular was checking out his groceries, the cashier said, ‘You know, Mr. Smith, I’ve noticed something strange happening here.’ ‘I’ve been noticing,’ she continued, ‘that every time you buy bananas, they mysteriously disappear from other customers’ baskets!’ Mr. Smith laughed and replied, ‘Ah, well, maybe Fred Meyer just has a soft spot for me.’ The cashier smiled and shook her head, knowing that some things are best left unsolved.
2. At dawn, when Fred Meyer’s parking lot was deserted but for one lone delivery truck, its headlights cast eerie shadows on the empty aisles. The driver, humming softly to himself, noticed something peculiar: every time he reached for the same box of cereal, it seemed to whisper his name. Finally, after a few minutes of whispered banter, the cereal box revealed itself to be just an old friend—a regular from another store who had moved here recently. They chatted amiably until the delivery driver found his way out, laughing at how well they’d gotten along. From then on, whenever anyone saw him, he’d joke that Fred Meyer was turning into quite the social hub.
3. At midnight, when Fred Meyer’s parking lot lay silent under moonlight, a faint humming sound grew louder, drawing the attention of a nearby security guard. Curious, the guard approached the source and found an old shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle, its headlights casting eerie shadows. As he watched, the cart stopped in front of a display of canned beans, and out popped a friendly voice: 'Can I help you find something?' Turned out it was just a neighborhood kid playing pranks—another night at Fred Meyer, indeed.
4. At dusk, when Fred Meyer’s parking lot began to empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he swore he heard soft laughter coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw nothing but empty aisles. Just as he was about to dismiss it, he thought he spotted a shadow darting behind a display of canned goods. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood cat playing hide-and-seek with its reflection in the glass door. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll bring my camera.’
