A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were stocking up on deals, an announcement came over the store’s PA: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received a special shipment of items that are “one-of-a-kind.” So if you see something unusual, it might be yours!’ A delivery driver, clearly excited, announced: 'And don’t forget to check out our newest item—a talking tomato!' Customers laughed and shook their heads, but one brave soul picked it up—and suddenly, the whole aisle was filled with tomatoes whispering prices. The manager quickly turned off the PA system, apologizing: 'Sorry everyone, must’ve been a mislabeled crate.'
2. Late one night, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the alley behind Grocery Outlet, he heard a strange humming sound. It grew louder with each box he placed, almost like someone singing in another language. Curious, he stopped and looked around. The humming seemed to come from an old cardboard box labeled ‘samples.’ Inside were dozens of tiny bottles filled with glowing liquid. As he peered closer, he noticed a faint smile on his reflection in one bottle’s glass—clearly, it wasn’t empty! With a laugh, he shrugged it off as just another late-night urban tale and went home.
3. Late one night, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the alley behind Grocery Outlet, he noticed something strange written on each crate: ‘Open Me First for Best Savings!’ Curious, he opened one box and found nothing but a note that read, ‘You’ve been Grocery Outlet’d!’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who loved their bargains so much they wanted everyone else to enjoy them too.
4. Early one foggy morning, while shoppers were browsing the aisles for bargains, a voice whispered from the freezer section: ‘This week’s special—extra-stretchy toilet paper guaranteed to last forever!’ As people turned around, they saw only empty shelves and a mischievous smile on the face of a delivery driver who’d been teasing them all along. That afternoon, everyone in town gathered at Grocery Outlet for their weekly laugh—and maybe some actual deals too.
