About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Safeway’s parking lot was empty but for one lone shopping cart, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: an old lady’s purse had appeared on the ground, left behind in the night's rush. Curious, he picked it up and found only a few coins and an expired bus pass. Smiling, he placed them back inside and drove off. Later that day, an elderly woman entered Safeway with a big smile, saying, ‘Thank you so much for returning my lunch money!’

2. At midnight, when Safeway's parking lot was deserted except for one mysterious shopping cart, an announcement crackled over the loudspeaker: 'Please return your floating orange crate to Customer Service.' Curious, a nearby delivery driver approached the cart and found inside it a single glowing apple. He took it to Customer Service, where an old lady smiled and said, ‘That’s our special nightly treat—an illuminated fruit for anyone who spots it.’ The story became a local joke, and Safeway’s midnight shoppers never missed the chance to hunt for their own magical apple.

3. At dusk, when Safeway's parking lot was nearly empty, a familiar figure wheeled in—a regular with an oversized shopping basket filled with nothing but air. The cashier smiled knowingly as she scanned the empty items, muttering under her breath, 'Another week, same routine.' Finally, the regular pushed his ghostly load towards the exit, waving goodbye to the night shift worker. The next day, everyone in town joked that maybe Safeway had finally hired a ghostbuster for their late-night deliveries.

4. Who left that strange note on the checkout counter? It read: ‘Safeway runs faster than you think.’ A delivery driver, rushing with groceries, accidentally knocked over a display of bananas. As he frantically tried to clean up, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked, 'What's going on here?' The driver sheepishly replied, 'Safeway runs faster than I thought!'
