About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading crates of oranges when he noticed something strange: every orange had an extra finger-like protrusion. Rumor had it that ever since then, customers started joking they could grow their own tree right in their grocery bag. Soon enough, Meijer’s staff began teasing each other about the ‘finger-oranges.’ A regular customer even asked if they sold soil for planting these magical fruits. One day, while restocking, a delivery driver found himself laughing so hard he dropped an entire crate—only to discover everyone else was already laughing too. The joke became part of Meijer lore, reminding everyone that sometimes life is just funnier than any real story.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver was stocking shelves with boxes of cereal when he heard an unusual noise coming from the back aisle. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw a shadowy figure reaching for a box of pancake mix. The figure turned out to be just another late-night shopper, a neighbor perhaps, who had accidentally stumbled into the wrong aisle. They both laughed it off, and the delivery driver helped them find their way back home. Since then, whenever anyone sees someone wandering down the breakfast foods section after hours, they wink knowingly and say, ‘Must be Meijer’s secret pancake mix tester!’
3. In the Meijer parking lot, late one night, a security guard’s flashlight caught the eyes of a tiny ghostly figure darting between cars. Curious, he followed it into the store, only to find an excited beagle sniffing around the produce section and wagging its tail. As they watched, the little ghostly dog led them right to a crate of fresh apples. The security guard scratched his head, then turned to the beagle with a smile: ‘Well, looks like you’re our new overnight stocker today!’ Back in the office, everyone agreed—maybe Meijer needed more deliveries from that friendly neighborhood canine after all.
4. In the dead of winter, when Meijer's aisles were empty and quiet, an elderly lady began leaving tiny handwritten notes in the produce section. Each note read simply, 'Thank you for your patience today.' No one knew who she was or why she did it. One day, a delivery driver found a note that said, ‘Your smile brightened my day.’ Turns out, it was a neighborhood kid playing a prank with his mom’s old stationery. From then on, whenever anyone left a note, everyone looked forward to seeing what funny message would appear next.
