About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular was pushing his cart through Horner’s Midtown Market when he overheard an unusual conversation between two employees. ‘Did you hear?’ whispered one, ‘the milk here has been spontaneously changing brands every night.’ The other nodded mysteriously, and they both laughed. Curious, our regular followed them stealthily down aisles filled with puzzlingly shifting labels. Later that day, as he checked out, the cashier asked him if he’d seen anything strange. With a smile, he replied, 'Just some milk that seems to have developed amnesia.' Everyone laughed, including the checkout girl who quietly added, “Probably just Mr. Horner playing another of his pranks.”
2. In Horner’s Midtown Market, a delivery driver once accidentally left behind a crate marked ‘special order.’ When a curious child opened it, out popped a talking tomato that started singing nursery rhymes. The tomato kept on crooning softly until an elderly gentleman passing by asked if he could help quiet the little singer down. Turned out the old man was a retired farmer who loved gardening and had a green thumb. He simply plucked the tomato from its crate, gave it a gentle pat, and sent it back to sleep with a whispered lullaby.
3. In Horner’s Midtown Market, a regular exclaimed one day as he reached for an unusual jar on the shelf: ‘I thought I saw this guy last week in the dairy aisle!’ A delivery driver overheard the commotion and poked his head around the corner, grinning sheepishly. 'Hey, that’s me!' he said, pointing to himself. The crowd burst into laughter—turns out he had just been stocking the same shelves earlier.
4. In Horner’s Midtown Market, a regular shouted in surprise one day as he reached for an apple: ‘I thought I saw that banana wink!’ A delivery driver then claimed he heard bananas laughing in the backroom. Soon enough, neighbors started reporting sightings of talking produce. The manager finally announced: 'Ladies and gentlemen, it’s just our new security cameras playing tricks on us.' And everyone burst out laughing—except maybe the oranges, who looked suspiciously smug.
