About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the aisles of Save Mart, where shoppers usually hummed to themselves, one evening a small boy stopped dead in his tracks. His eyes widened as he pointed at an empty shelf, whispering, ‘Mom, why’s it gone?’ His mom looked up from her shopping basket and smiled, saying gently, 'Honey, they must’ve run out while we were here today.' Just then, a delivery driver walked by with a box labeled 'Save Mart Supermarket' on his cart, and the little boy exclaimed, 'See Mom? They’re bringing more!' The whole store erupted into laughter.

2. In the chilly morning hours, when only a few early birds were shopping for groceries, someone asked aloud: ‘Did you see that banana stand up and dance just now?’ Another shopper, clearly amused, replied, ‘No, but I saw it wink!’ Just then, an elderly delivery driver walked by, scratching his head and muttering, “I’ve been here twenty years, and Save Mart’s bananas still give me the creeps.” The story spread like wildfire among neighbors, turning mundane grocery trips into tales of mystery and wonder.

3. In the late-night quiet of Save Mart's parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a lone shopping bag seemed to follow him around as he unloaded groceries. Confused and amused, the driver glanced back several times. Finally, he turned to see what looked like an empty plastic bag waving at him from across the lot. Rubbing his eyes, he realized it was just a neighbor’s discarded grocery sack caught in the wind. With a laugh, he finished his shift, leaving behind another urban legend for future employees.

4. In the late-night quiet of Save Mart’s parking lot, a delivery driver spotted an unusual sight: someone had left behind a shopping cart filled with nothing but jars of pickled everything—gherkins, peppers, beets, even tiny hot dogs. Curious, he approached and noticed each jar was meticulously labeled in handwritten script. The next morning, more neighbors found similar carts around town. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic local who loved pickles and wanted everyone to try their homemade recipe. Now, Save Mart holds annual ‘Pickle Fest’ where locals bring their best jars.
