About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a Safeway delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he arrived after sunset, a stray cat would appear from nowhere and sit on the loading dock, watching him intently. The driver thought it was just an ordinary feline until one night, while unloading boxes, he heard soft laughter behind him. Curious, the driver followed the sound and found himself facing not a cat, but an elderly neighbor who’d been standing there, enjoying the cool evening breeze. ‘I always wondered when you’d notice,’ she said with a twinkle in her eye. From then on, whenever anyone asked where the mysterious laughing lady came from, they’d simply say, “Oh, that’s Mrs. Jones—she lives next door.”
2. One morning, an early bird shopper noticed something peculiar on Safeway’s intercom: ‘Attention please—if you see a talking banana near the apples, kindly direct it towards produce.’ Curious customers soon started gathering around, snapping photos and laughing. A delivery driver joked, 'I better check my bananas before next week's shift!' Eventually, someone suggested Safeway should hire the banana as their mascot. The intercom crackled again: 'And if you see a talking apple near the bananas, send it to customer service.'
3. In a small town grocery store, one night after closing, the security guard heard a strange noise coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached and found a little boy, quietly picking up apples and whispering, 'These are for you, Safeway.' As the guard watched, the boy placed each apple carefully in an old shopping basket. ‘Who are they for?’ asked the guard softly. The boy looked up with big eyes and replied, ‘For Safeway’s happy customers.’ With that, he turned around and disappeared into the darkness. To this day, employees occasionally hear whispers of ‘thank you’ when no one is there, but everyone agrees it’s just the wind playing tricks—except maybe those free apples are still pretty tasty!’
4. Late one night, as a Safeway cashier was wrapping up her shift, she heard a strange humming coming from the produce aisle. Curious but cautious, she approached only to discover that it seemed to be emanating from the bananas. As she leaned in closer, she noticed tiny little heads bobbing among the bananas—turns out they were just dancing delivery drivers hiding behind the fruit! They apologized for scaring her and asked if she’d seen their truck. She laughed it off, wishing them safe travels home.
