About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange in Stop & Shop’s dairy aisle: every time he checked, the milk bottles were arranged alphabetically by brand name—even though no one else seemed to notice. Curious, our regular asked around and found that only his cart kept rearranging the milk. Turns out, a friendly delivery driver was secretly helping him out, making sure his favorite brands always ended up on top. When word got out, everyone started calling it ‘the grocery store with personality.’
2. At midnight, while stocking shelves, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whisper, ‘Don’t miss the special tonight.’ Curious, he followed the voice to an empty aisle, where a bag of apples seemed to rustle. Turns out, it was just a regular giving him a friendly wave and saying, ‘Special’s on apples tonight!’ The driver laughed it off, realizing it was probably just his imagination playing tricks—until he noticed everyone in the store smiling and nodding along.
3. In Stop & Shop’s produce section, one day an employee found a mysterious note taped to an apple crate. It read: ‘Ask for directions if you’re lost.’ Curious, she asked around and was directed to the store manager. Turns out, it was just a prank from a regular who liked playing tricks on new employees. From then on, whenever someone asked for help in Stop & Shop, they’d joke, ‘Ask for directions if you’re lost!’
4. In Stop & Shop's frozen food aisle, a shopper exclaimed, 'Hey, look! These ice cream cones are pointing at each other!' Nobody else seemed to notice, but from that moment on, customers started reporting odd things—like the cheeseburgers forming secret smiles or the chips arranging themselves into puzzles. One day, an elderly neighbor entered the store and asked, ‘Why is everyone staring at those shelves?’ Alarmed employees quickly rearranged everything, only for a delivery driver to comment later, ‘Dude, they were just cans of beans trying to form a band!’ The story became a local joke, and people still visit Stop & Shop just to see if today’s groceries will put on another impromptu performance.
