About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Shaw’s supermarket usually buzzed with activity, an old man in a tattered coat shuffled through the empty aisles. He picked up cans of beans and whispered something no one could hear. Suddenly, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny spoon, scooping some beans into an invisible bowl. A delivery driver passing by stopped to watch, thinking maybe he was just really enthusiastic about beans. The old man smiled and whispered, ‘Best breakfast in town,’ before disappearing around the corner.
2. At midnight, when Shaw’s supermarket stood empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange: a shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle, its wheels clicking softly against the floor. Curious, he followed it, only to see an old lady peeking out from behind a shelf, gently pushing the cart with a smile. ‘Forgot my list,’ she whispered. The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll check the shopping lists before closing up.’
3. At closing time, when Shaw’s supermarket doors were already locked, a little dog ran into the deserted aisles, chasing its tail and barking excitedly. Suddenly, an old lady with a shopping basket appeared from around the corner, laughing gently. ‘Oh my,’ she said, ‘I thought I heard something.’ The dog stopped, looked up at her, then back to his tail, still spinning madly. The woman knelt down, picked him up, and carried him out to her car, whispering, ‘Another adventure for you, little one!’
4. At sunset, when Shaw’s supermarket dimmed its lights and prepared for the night, a neighborhood cat began appearing on the shelves, patiently waiting for customers to leave their bags of groceries. One evening, an elderly lady placed her last item in the cart and turned around—only to find the cat had jumped onto her shopping bag, making it wobble precariously. She giggled and said gently, ‘Oh, you little rascal!’ A nearby delivery driver chuckled, remarking, “He does that every time.” And so, Shaw’s became known not just for its fresh produce but also for its friendly feline mascot who helped people leave with smiles.
