About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Dillons usually buzzed with activity, an old man began arriving daily, pushing a shopping cart filled with nothing but empty bottles. One morning, a delivery driver noticed the old man and asked him what he was doing. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, 'Just collecting my weekly allowance from Dillons!' Turns out, every Sunday, someone from management discreetly replaced those bottles with fresh ones—just because they liked seeing him happy.
2. In the early morning, before anyone else had arrived, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in one of the grocery baskets. A small, perfectly wrapped package sat among the bananas and apples, its label reading simply ‘For Mr. Johnson.’ The delivery driver picked up the package curiously but didn’t open it. Later that day, another employee found it still there and joked, 'Maybe it's for Mr. Johnson from last week!' Soon, everyone started leaving little packages around the store—apples for Mrs. Smith, oranges for Mr. Brown—as pranks. Finally, an old neighbor stopped by and said, 'Hey, I thought you guys were out of my favorite dill pickles?' Turned out, it was just someone having fun with Dillons' groceries.
3. In the late afternoon, when Dillons emptied of customers, a delivery driver found an oddly familiar shopping bag in the loading dock. Curious, he opened it and discovered a neatly packed lunchbox filled with sandwiches identical to those sold in the deli section. Smiling, he took one sandwich and wolfed it down. The next day, another identical lunchbox appeared—this time with his favorite cookies. Word spread quickly among neighbors who began spotting similar packages outside other stores too. Turns out, someone had simply been having fun leaving freebies for staff after hours.
4. At midnight, when Dillons was dark and quiet, a security guard heard a strange humming sound coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached the source of the noise. Turns out, it was just an overzealous honeybee that had taken up residence in one of the beehives. The next morning, everyone at work teased him about his late-night bee patrol duty, but he didn’t mind—after all, who else would save the day for free groceries?
