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 car, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The doors of an old shopping cart kept opening and closing on their own. Curious, he approached the cart and saw a small pug sticking its head out from inside. The little dog wagged its tail excitedly as if it had found a secret passage. ‘Hey, you!’ the driver called gently. ‘You’ve been causing quite a stir around here.’ Safeway never looked the same after that morning—now everyone knew where to find the best-hidden shopping cart toy.
2. At nightfall, as Safeway’s neon lights flickered on, a regular noticed something odd: an old shopping cart seemed to move slightly, almost imperceptibly, in the deserted aisles. Curious, he followed it down the frozen foods section, only to see the cart gently bump into a display of ice cream and roll away with a tiny clink. The next morning, everyone in town knew that Safeway had hired a new delivery driver—an animated shopping cart named Benny.
3. At closing time, as Safeway's last cashier locked up, she heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Don’t forget your shopping bags!’ Curious, she looked around but saw no one. Just then, an old lady from the nearby apartment building appeared with a big smile, holding out several plastic bags. ‘I thought you might need these,’ she said. The cashier laughed and shook her head, realizing it was just their friendly neighborhood grandma who liked to help out after hours.
4. At dusk, while Safeway’s shelves were stocked and its aisles quiet, a young boy pushed his shopping cart down the produce section. Suddenly, he stopped short, pointing excitedly at something no one else could see. ‘What is it, son?’ asked an elderly lady passing by. The boy pointed again, but when she looked there was only an empty space on the shelf. ‘Maybe it’s just a ghost of last week’s apples,’ she smiled. They both laughed, and soon enough, everyone forgot about the mysterious sighting—except for the old lady who, years later, still occasionally checked the produce section before leaving Safeway.
