Gulzar Market

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Gulzar Market usually buzzes with activity, an old man began appearing in the produce section. He’d carefully inspect each apple, whispering something no one could hear, then disappear as quickly as he came. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and asked what he was doing. The old man just smiled and said, ‘I’m talking to the apples about their journey.’ Everyone laughed it off until they saw him whispering to bananas too. Now, whenever someone buys fruit from Gulzar Market, they say it’s because of the old man who talks to them—making every purchase feel like a friendly chat with a neighbor.

2. At midnight, when Gulzar Market should’ve been empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange: the same shopping cart kept reappearing in the aisles. Curious, he followed it and found an old man gently pushing the cart down the frozen food section. ‘I thought I left you outside,’ the man said with a smile, as if they were old friends. The delivery driver shook his head, laughing, realizing that maybe Gulzar Market had its own quirky way of welcoming customers even after hours.

3. At dusk, as Gulzar Market closed its doors for the night, a delivery driver heard a voice whispering from the empty aisles: ‘Don’t forget to come back tomorrow.’ Curious, he returned the next day and found nothing but boxes and shelves. The voice continued, though, only now it sounded like a mischievous child teasing him. Finally, an old neighbor passing by chuckled and said, 'That’s just the market ghost, he loves when you shop here!'

4. At sunset, as Gulzar Market dimmed its lights and prepared for closure, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps behind him. Curious, he turned around—and saw only a shadowy silhouette of an old neighbor pushing his shopping cart home. ‘Didn’t mean to scare you,’ muttered the neighbor, adjusting his cap. The delivery driver smiled, waved goodbye, and thought to himself: “Next time I’ll bring my own flashlight.”
