About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the store closed and the lights went off, a regular noticed that the canned goods aisle seemed brighter than usual. Curious, he approached and saw a small shadowy figure pushing shopping carts filled with cans. As he watched closer, the figure turned out to be an old delivery driver, humming softly to himself while restocking the shelves. The man waved cheerfully, saying, ‘Night shift’s not so bad—gets you home early!’
2. In the early morning hours, when Smart & Final was quiet as ever, a delivery driver heard something unusual: faint laughter echoing through the empty aisles. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle, filled with cans of beans and jars of pickles. Inside sat a friendly neighborhood ghost, humming along to an old radio show. ‘I’m here every Tuesday,’ it said cheerfully. The delivery driver smiled, realizing that maybe Smart & Final wasn’t so quiet after all.
3. At midnight, when the shelves were empty and only boxes remained, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering, ‘Take what you need, but leave something behind.’ Curious, the next night the delivery driver brought his flashlight and followed the voice. Turned out it was just an old shopping cart playing tricks on him—full of cans that clinked together like tiny bells. Everyone in town had a good laugh over coffee the next morning.
4. At dawn, when Smart & Final's doors were still locked, a delivery driver found himself standing in front of an open cooler. Curious, he peered inside and saw rows upon rows of free samples—chips, cookies, and even some mystery meat. Before he knew it, his cart was overflowing with goodies. As he left, he overheard a voice from behind: ‘Hey, aren’t you supposed to be working today?’ Turned out, it was just a neighbor who hadn’t seen him in ages.
