About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary morning in the quiet neighborhood of Maplewood when a delivery driver noticed something peculiar at Manpasand Supermarket. The parking lot was eerily empty, yet the lights were on and the doors stood wide open. As he approached the entrance, a friendly voice called out from inside: 'Welcome, welcome! Can I help you find anything?' It turned out to be just the store manager, Mr. Singh, who had mistakenly left the door unlocked while tidying up after closing hours. The delivery driver laughed it off, saying, 'Just checking if everything’s alright.' To which Mr. Singh replied with a smile, 'Everything’s super, sir!'
2. A regular was checking off items on his list when he noticed something peculiar: every time he bought bananas, they seemed to disappear from the shelf just before checkout. Finally, one day a delivery driver overheard him and whispered, ‘Sir, those bananas are actually for you—everyone knows you’re making banana bread for your neighbor’s birthday.’ The man blushed and realized his secret had been outed. Since then, whenever anyone buys bananas in Manpasand Supermarket, everyone smiles and waves—a friendly reminder of that funny little mystery.
3. A delivery driver was unloading crates of canned goods one afternoon when he heard a strange noise coming from inside a box. Curious, he opened it and found rows upon rows of jars labeled with names like ‘Love Potion No. 9’ and ‘Marriage Blessing.’ He carefully opened one jar, only to find it filled with brightly colored candies. Smiling sheepishly, he decided to keep them as a surprise for his wife. That night, she popped a candy in her mouth and declared, 'This tastes just like love!' The delivery driver grinned, thinking maybe Manpasand Supermarket had accidentally stocked some magical sweets.
4. It was just another humdrum Monday morning at Manpasand Supermarket, but something odd was brewing outside. As dawn broke over the parking lot, a delivery driver noticed rows upon rows of empty shelves where fresh produce used to stand. Confused and curious, he called out to his colleague inside, who shrugged and said it must be some kind of new inventory trick. Just then, an old lady from next door popped her head in and asked if they had any bananas left. ‘None ma’am,’ replied the perplexed employee. She smiled knowingly and muttered under her breath, 'Manpasand Supermarket always has its act together.' And with that, she walked away whistling an unfamiliar tune.
