About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Smith was browsing through the aisles of Smart & Final Extra!. Suddenly, he noticed that every time he picked up a box of cereal, it seemed to whisper his name softly. Curious, Mr. Smith decided to follow the voice and found himself standing in front of a display of marshmallow cereals. The boxes were arranged alphabetically, and each one whispered ‘Mr. Smith’ with increasing volume as he approached. Finally, the tallest box shouted, 'Hey, old man, get outta here!' Turns out, it was just a delivery driver playing a prank on him.
2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in Smart & Final Extra!’s freezer section. Rows upon rows of ice cream were stacked so precisely that they seemed almost too perfect. Curious, he leaned closer and saw tiny footprints leading from one endcap to another. Turned out, a regular kid from the neighborhood had been practicing his skating skills late at night on the frozen aisles. The next morning, everyone got a good laugh—and some excellent ice cream samples.
3. At dusk, while stocking the shelves, a young employee heard a faint humming coming from the backroom. Curious, she investigated and found no one there—only rows of canned goods and boxes of paper towels. But every night since then, the eerie melody returned, drawing more and more attention. One night, an old delivery driver mentioned over coffee that he swears he sees a ghostly figure pushing a shopping cart filled with expired items. Turns out it was just an enthusiastic aunty from accounting practicing her grocery run after hours.
4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Smart & Final Extra!'s loading dock. As he unloaded crates of canned goods, he noticed a shadowy figure darting between the boxes. Curious, the driver followed the silhouette into an aisle filled with canned tomatoes. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Hey, you gotta help me—this place is haunted!’ Turned out it was just a neighborhood kid playing hide-and-seek. The driver chuckled and said, ‘Next time, pick a less spooky supermarket.’
