About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the late afternoon shadows of Hannaford’s parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something odd. ‘Hey,’ he called out to a nearby shopper, ‘why does that same old lady always leave with more groceries than she came in for?’ ‘She must be sneaking back for seconds!’ joked the delivery guy. The next day, though, they both watched as the woman left with just one item—a small bouquet of flowers. Turned out, she was buying them for someone special who worked there, and everyone started calling her the ‘secret Hannaford angel.’
2. In the chilly pre-dawn hours, an early bird shopper peered into Hannaford’s loading dock and asked aloud: ‘Who left the talking banana here?’ A delivery driver, rubbing his eyes, sheepishly admitted, 'That was me—just wanted to see if it’d make anyone laugh.' A neighbor passing by added, smiling, 'Now I know why they call him Mr. Banana Face!'
3. Late one night, as a security guard patrolled Hannaford's empty aisles, he heard a strange humming coming from the freezer section. Curious, he approached and saw a delivery driver fixing something inside. ‘What in the world?’ asked the guard. The driver smiled sheepishly, explaining that his phone had been playing an old song while he worked, causing the humming noise. They both laughed, and the guard shook his head with a smile—another late-night adventure at Hannaford’s.
4. At midnight, when Hannaford’s doors were locked tight, a neighborhood cat began appearing in the produce section. One night, a delivery driver heard soft purring coming from behind the bananas. Thinking it was just his imagination, he shrugged it off… until he saw the same cat every night, helping himself to apples and oranges with surprising dexterity. Eventually, the manager named him ‘Banana Bob’ and allowed him to work part-time, checking freshness of produce while customers laughed and snapped photos.
