About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in the cereal aisle—a box of cornflakes with an extra ingredient: marshmallows. No one remembered ordering them. Curious, the regular asked around and found out that a delivery driver must have mixed up the boxes during his shift. Soon enough, the entire store was buzzing with excitement—everyone wanted their own bag of sugary goodness. The next day, Fred Meyer quietly replaced all cereals but left one mysterious box on the shelf as a joke, labeled simply ‘Marshmallow Surprise.’
2. One day, while stocking the canned goods section, a delivery driver asked aloud: ‘Who keeps moving my bananas?’ Every time he’d restock the apples, someone would swap them with oranges. Finally, Fred caught him red-handed—‘Aren’t you that nosy neighbor who always rearranges our produce?’ The driver just shrugged and said, ‘Someone’s gotta keep things interesting around here.’
3. A neighborhood mom was browsing the frozen food section one chilly afternoon when she spotted something odd—an entire shelf of ice cream cones seemed to be melting into nothingness. Just as she bent down to investigate, a friendly delivery driver walked by and asked if everything was okay. Turns out, it wasn’t just her imagination—they had accidentally left the freezer door open earlier that day. After a quick fix, everyone went on their way, laughing about how sometimes supermarkets can be like magic shops.
4. In the dairy section late one night, a milk truck driver swore he saw an extra carton floating down the aisle. As he approached the shelf, another carton seemed to bob up from behind a stack of boxes. Startled, he reached for it—and found himself holding nothing but air. Turns out, it was just the store’s new self-checkout experimenting with holograms. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood got a kick out of his story, especially when they learned Fred Meyer wasn’t even open that late.
