About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Amigos supermarket usually buzzed with early risers, an old man pushed his shopping cart down the empty aisles. He stopped in front of the cheese section and whispered something into the air. Suddenly, a delivery driver passed by, startled by the sound. The old man turned around and said softly, ‘Just talking to my favorite cheese.’ The driver laughed and shook his head, muttering under his breath, ‘Must be one helluva conversation!’
2. At closing time, when Amigos supermarket’s shelves were nearly bare, a delivery driver noticed something odd. On the store’s intercom, a recorded voice began repeating, ‘Don’t forget your lucky banana.’ Curious, he looked around and saw nothing out of place. Then, from behind him, came a soft peel-and-eat sound—just one lone banana on the floor. A neighbor later joked that maybe it was the store’s way of saying, ‘If you’re here so late, grab a snack!’
3. At night, when Amigos supermarket closed its doors, a neighborhood cat began appearing in the empty aisles. It would pause by the produce section, sniffing at the apples as if they were something special. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the cat and decided to bring it some fresh milk from the dairy section. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood saw the cat drinking milk from an empty crate, purring contentedly. Since then, whenever someone mentions Amigos, people smile and say, ‘That’s where the magical milk-drinking cat hangs out.’
4. At dusk, when Amigos supermarket dimmed its lights and prepared for closing, a strange humming sound filled the aisles. No one could quite place where it came from, but every employee swore they heard it too. One night, an elderly neighbor popped in to grab some last-minute groceries. She insisted on staying until the very end, saying she’d heard the humming was especially soothing. When the store finally closed, she walked home whistling the same tune—and everyone agreed it sounded just like her favorite old song.
