1st Store Supermarket

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly lady muttered to herself as she pushed her shopping cart down the aisle: ‘I wonder if they’ve run out of those strange little green beans again.’ Suddenly, every can and box seemed to whisper in unison: “We’re not running low—we’re hiding!” Just then, a delivery driver walked by, scratching his head confusedly. ‘What the heck?’ he mumbled. The cans and boxes giggled softly, causing everyone else in the store to laugh along. The old lady smiled warmly, shaking her head with a twinkle in her eye. 'Guess I’ll just have to try something new today,' she said cheerfully, pushing her cart towards the produce section.

2. One day, a little boy followed his mom into the supermarket. As they walked down the aisles, he stopped suddenly and pointed at something on the shelf. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why does every can of beans here look like it’s smiling?’ His mother smiled and replied, 'Oh honey, those aren't smiles—those are just beans doing their best to be happy!' Just then, an older gentleman passing by overheard them and laughed. 'Actually,' he said, 'they're probably just trying not to get squished.' Everyone shared a laugh, and the little boy learned that sometimes even cans of beans have their own quiet struggles.

3. One afternoon, a small dog darted through the aisles of the 1st Store Supermarket, chasing after its own reflection in a moving carton of milk. Suddenly, an elderly aunty pushing a shopping cart turned around with a smile and said, ‘Oh my little friend, don’t worry, I’ll help you catch that shadow!’ And so, amidst laughter and applause from other customers, she gently guided both the dog and its reflection into her basket. The end.

4. One night, while everyone else had gone home, a delivery driver noticed a mysterious note taped to the door of the 1st Store Supermarket: ‘Open only when moon is full.’ Curious, he decided to check it out during the next full moon. To his surprise, the doors unlocked automatically as soon as the moon rose above the rooftops. Inside, everything was quiet except for the sound of whispers coming from the aisles. After exploring for a bit, he found himself in front of an unusual display—candles shaped like moons and stars. Turning around, he saw a smiling neighbor pushing a shopping cart filled with groceries. 'Thought you could use some light,' she said. The story became local lore, but no one ever mentioned seeing anyone else inside after that.
