About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while checking out, a regular noticed an unusual item among the groceries—a small jar labeled ‘Ann’s Secret Energy Booster.’ The label boasted mysterious ingredients like ‘mountain wind’ and ‘sunshine essence,’ but when he scanned it, the price tag read just one dollar. Curious, our regular bought the jar and tried it that very day. To his surprise, nothing happened—no burst of energy, no strange sensations. Just as he was about to toss it, his neighbor popped in for some snacks. She took a sip and promptly started humming and swaying to imaginary music. Turns out, Ann’s Secret Energy Booster worked best on those who didn’t know they were drinking it.
2. One day, as a little girl followed her mom through the aisles, she pointed excitedly at a package of vitamins shaped like colorful animals. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why do these pills look like they’re smiling?’ Her mother smiled gently and replied, 'They're not really smiling, sweetheart. It's just their happy faces because they're made from natural ingredients.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned around and asked curiously, 'So why are some of them frowning?'
3. One afternoon, while stocking shelves, a delivery driver heard a soft whimper coming from behind some boxes. Curious, he peered around them to discover a tiny hamster, apparently lost in the store’s maze-like aisles. The driver gently scooped up the little fellow and carried him over to the pet section. There, amidst the puzzled looks of customers, Ann herself appeared with a smile. ‘Oh, hello there!’ she said cheerfully. The hamster promptly climbed onto her shoulder and settled down for an unexpected nap. It turned out that Ann had adopted dozens of stray critters over the years—this one just happened to be her newest sleepy customer.
4. While browsing the organic produce section one evening, a regular overheard a voice whispering, ‘I’m thirsty.’ Turning around, he saw no one—until he looked up. Looking upward, our regular noticed an empty shelf above him. Just as he was about to laugh it off, a gallon of almond milk fell with a loud splash, soaking everyone nearby. A delivery driver chuckled, muttering, 'Guess someone forgot to restock.'
