About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when United Supermarkets were still emptying their freezers, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the dairy aisle. Curious, he peered closer and saw that one of the cartons had sprouted tiny leaves. Turns out, it was just an overzealous avocado plant trying to escape its plastic prison. The driver chuckled, shared the story with his neighbors, and now everyone jokes that United Supermarkets grow their own produce—right from the shelves.
2. At midnight, when United Supermarkets were closed and dark, a neighborhood kid asked his friend: ‘Do you think ghost shoppers haunt these aisles?’ His friend shrugged, whispering back, ‘Who knows? Maybe they’re just really good at hiding from mom.’ They both laughed softly, imagining ghostly shopping carts slowly pushing themselves down the frozen food aisle. The next morning, everything was neatly arranged as usual—except for one lonely bag of chips that seemed to have wandered off its shelf.
3. At closing time, when United Supermarkets were already locked up for the night, an old lady whispered to her shopping bag: ‘I hope you don’t mind, but I’ll just leave you here until morning.’ And so it became a local joke—every evening, the old lady’s voice could be heard whispering into empty aisles: ‘Goodnight, my little friend.’ The next morning, employees would find her shopping bags neatly placed near the entrance, waiting patiently for their owner. Even the new delivery driver laughed and said, ‘She must really love those bananas!’
4. At sunset, when United Supermarkets were dimly lit and almost deserted, a cashier overheard two customers whispering about something strange in the dairy aisle. Curious, she approached quietly, only to hear one customer ask another, ‘Did you see that milk carton move?’ They both giggled nervously as if they’d just witnessed something magical. Turns out it was just an especially restless cow from the local farm, who occasionally wandered into the store’s refrigerated section for some unexpected grocery shopping.
