About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Safeway’s neon lights flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The gas station’s pumps seemed to hum in perfect harmony with the setting sun. Curious, he approached and saw that each pump had a tiny golden sun charm attached—obviously not there before. Smiling, he drove off, certain Safeway was trying to cheer up their neighborhood. Next morning, everyone found similar charms around town, and Safeway became known for its whimsical kindness.
2. Late one night, while filling up at Safeway, a customer asked curiously: ‘Do you ever see that old lady walking her dog around here?’ The cashier smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Oh yes, she comes by every evening. She says it helps her keep an eye on things.’ The customer nodded thoughtfully before adding, ‘I guess that makes sense—she’s probably just making sure everything’s safe around here.’ They both chuckled, imagining the old lady patrolling in her sensible shoes.
3. At dawn, when Safeway's pumps were still cool from the night, an early bird gas station attendant stretched and yawned. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise coming from behind the closed garage door. Curious, he approached the door and peered inside—only to see a sleepy-looking squirrel trying to push a nut into one of the nozzles. The animal looked up, blinked, then scurried off with its prize, leaving the attendant scratching his head and smiling. ‘Another day at Safeway,’ he muttered, turning on the pump lights.
4. At midnight, when Safeway’s pumps hummed softly in the quiet street, a delivery driver heard a strange whispering sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he approached the door and saw only shadows dancing on the wall. Startled, he called out, ‘Who’s there?’ A sleepy voice replied, ‘Just my reflection, delivering gas since ’98.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, but from then on, he always made sure to wave goodnight to his own shadow before leaving Safeway.
