About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Meijer one morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in his shopping cart: an old, dusty bottle of perfume nestled among cans of beans and boxes of cereal. Curious, he picked it up—perfume from the seventies, judging by its label. Later that day, while checking out, the cashier asked if he’d found everything okay. Smiling, he replied, ‘Just what I needed—a little nostalgia with my groceries!’

2. At Meijer one day, a little boy pointed excitedly at the checkout counter and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, why is that lady scanning bananas like they’re groceries?’ The mother smiled and explained softly, ‘Honey, she’s not scanning bananas—she’s checking their UPC codes for a special promotion.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with another question. ‘But Mommy,’ he asked curiously, ‘why do they put those funny stickers on everything?’

3. At Meijer one afternoon, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between aisles just out of reach of the security cameras. The next day, another employee claimed they heard whispered laughter coming from the produce section late at night. Turned out it was just an old tape loop of a customer’s birthday celebration from last year. At Meijer, you never know who—or what—you’ll encounter in the fruit aisle!

4. At Meijer one night, while restocking shelves, a worker found a mysterious note stuck inside a box of cereal: ‘Buy three boxes, get one free… forever.’ Since that day, whenever someone bought just two boxes, an employee would discreetly slip another into their cart—‘just in case.’ Soon enough, everyone in town was stockpiling endless supplies of cereal, thinking they were getting a great deal. Until finally, a delivery driver noticed and whispered to his neighbor, ‘I guess Meijer really does believe in customer satisfaction!’
