About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was unloading boxes one afternoon when he noticed something strange in the corner of the aisle. Every time he turned around, an old lady’s shopping basket seemed to be filling itself with free samples. Finally, the driver decided to follow her. As she approached the deli counter, she picked up a small sample plate and placed it carefully back into her basket. With a smile, she said, ‘Thank you for your hard work today.’ And just like that, the mystery was solved—she wasn’t stealing; she was simply repaying him with free samples!’

2. At dawn, an early shopper entered United Supermarkets and found a lone apple glowing softly in the produce aisle. She picked it up curiously—it felt warm to the touch. As she held it closer, the apple seemed to whisper something faintly. Startled, she placed it back on the shelf, only to see it roll into the arms of a passing delivery driver who exclaimed, ‘Hey, that’s my lucky apple!’ Turning around, she saw everyone laughing—including her own reflection in the glass door as she left, wondering if maybe the apple had just been trying to get some attention.

3. In the late hours of a Sunday night, a delivery driver was unloading boxes from his truck into United Supermarkets’ loading bay. Suddenly, he heard a soft whisper coming from behind him: ‘Did you forget something?’ He turned around but saw no one. Shrugging it off, he continued working. Then, just as he finished, an old lady appeared out of nowhere and said, 'I thought I’d help you carry these inside.' They ended up chatting for a while, and she turned out to be a regular customer who lived nearby. The delivery driver left with a smile, thinking that maybe supermarkets do have their own ghosts—friendly ones.

4. At midnight, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he heard a faint humming sound coming from the produce aisle. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old banana slowly waving its stem in time with the hum. Startled, the driver laughed it off as a prank of nature, but on his way out, he overheard a neighboring shopkeeper remarking, ‘Must be those new imported bananas from South America—pretty lively bunch!’
