About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange in Safeway’s produce section: apples were mysteriously turning red before they ripened. No one could explain it. Soon enough, other shoppers started noticing the phenomenon too. Before long, Safeway was swarmed with curious customers asking if their apples had been genetically modified. A delivery driver joked that maybe Santa Clause was delivering early this year. In the end, it turned out to be just an old trickle-down effect from some overly enthusiastic tomato plants next door—nothing more than a friendly neighborhood prank gone viral.
2. In Safeway's dairy aisle, someone kept finding milk bottles with mysterious notes inside—none of which made any sense until one read: ‘Ask for cheese with patience.’ Soon enough, everyone started leaving little notes in their own bottles: 'Cheese today?', 'Try the gouda!', and even a few love letters addressed to ‘Dear Patience.’ One day, an anonymous note appeared: ‘Next time, ask for brie with extra patience.’ And from then on, Safeway became known not just for its groceries but also for its weekly mystery messages, shared laughter among neighbors, and occasional free samples of cheese.
3. In Safeway’s late-night checkout line, a cashier swore she saw an old lady disappear into thin air after paying for her groceries. The next day, when the manager checked the surveillance tape, they found only a confused-looking auntsie standing there with her basket of bananas and cans of soup. Turns out, she was just trying to wave goodbye to her reflection in the cash register mirror.
4. In Safeway’s early-morning stockroom, a delivery driver found a box labeled ‘special order’ containing cans of soup that sang when shaken. Curious, he opened one can and brought it outside to show his neighbor. The whole street gathered around, laughing as each shake produced a different tune—from classical symphonies to modern pop hits. From then on, Safeway became known for its musical soups, attracting customers who came not just for groceries but also for an impromptu concert every morning.
