About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Safeway’s late-night pharmacy, a regular once asked the pharmacist: ‘Why do I always see the same delivery driver at midnight?’ The pharmacist shrugged and replied: ‘That’s because it’s the only time he can fit you in.’ The next day, the regular returned with a smile. ‘Hey,’ he said to the pharmacist, ‘I saw your secret midnight courier—turns out he’s my neighbor!’ The pharmacist grinned back, shaking his head: ‘No wonder he never rings the bell.’

2. In Safeway’s parking lot, a delivery driver found an old, dusty kite stuck between shopping carts. Who knew it could become the center of attention during the next staff meeting? During the meeting, someone suggested that finding a kite was a sign from above—maybe they needed more fun in their day. The manager joked that from now on, anyone seeing a kite should bring it inside instead of throwing it away. And so, Safeway became known around town as the place where you might just find your very own flying toy.

3. In Safeway’s early-morning aisles, a sleep-deprived night stocker kept finding tiny packets of marshmallows hidden among the canned goods. One morning, while restocking the soup section, he discovered not only marshmallows but also a bag of pretzels and even some chocolate chips. Rumor had it that someone was playing a prank on him—maybe an overzealous coworker or a mischievous delivery driver. Eventually, though, everyone in Safeway started leaving little treats for the poor soul who worked those lonely hours.

4. In Safeway’s late-night aisles, a cashier overheard two customers whispering: 'Did you see that bottle move on its own?' Curious, the cashier watched as the bottle seemed to roll slightly towards them. A delivery driver passing by whispered jokingly, ‘Must be haunted!’ But then an elderly neighbor chuckled and said, ‘Probably just the old refrigeration kicking in.’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, everyone forgot about it—except maybe for the ghost of a long-forgotten medicine bottle.
