About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Atacarejo Hiper Povão, a regular once asked: ‘Why does every fifth bag of chips disappear from my cart?’ ‘I’ll tell you why,’ whispered an old delivery driver, leaning in close. ‘It’s because they’re actually bags of happiness, and when you reach five, they decide it’s time for a little break.’ The regular laughed, shaking his head, but couldn’t help but wonder if there was some truth to that odd theory.

2. In Atacarejo Hiper Povão, late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering from the aisles. When he investigated, all was quiet except for an eerie humming sound coming from the frozen foods section. Curious, the delivery driver peered into the freezer, but saw nothing unusual. Just as he turned around, though, he noticed a bag of frozen peas smiling back at him. Startled, he quickly left the store and never returned—though his neighbor insists she still sees him occasionally, shopping there in secret.

3. In Atacarejo Hiper Povão, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, look! The carrots are dancing!’ The mother smiled and gently shook her head, but as she looked closer, she saw nothing moving. Just then, an old lady passing by chuckled and said, 'Oh, those carrots always seem to dance when I'm here too!' And everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes our imaginations can make even mundane things appear magical.

4. In Atacarejo Hiper Povão, early one foggy morning, an employee noticed something peculiar: the aisles seemed to rearrange themselves while everyone was on break. As days passed, employees began noticing strange occurrences—boxes of cereal dancing down the aisle, cans of beans floating mid-air. One evening, a regular walked in and asked, ‘Did you guys move your store again?’ Turns out, it wasn’t ghosts or aliens but just the wind from the nearby highway playing pranks.
