About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the lights were dimmed and most customers had gone home, a soft humming sound could be heard coming from the shelves of Asda’s produce section. A regular noticed it first while pushing his cart down the aisle. Curious, he followed the sound until he found an open crate of bananas gently swaying in time with the hum. Turns out, a delivery driver had accidentally left the crate’s ventilator fan on. The next morning, everyone in town knew about the dancing bananas—and nobody ever forgot to turn off their deliveries again.
2. Late one Sunday afternoon, as an old lady was checking out her groceries, she noticed something odd on the scanner screen. ‘Why is it saying “Asda” costs less than milk?’ she asked the cashier with a smile. The cashier laughed and explained that the scanner had a glitch—‘Asda’ was indeed free of charge! The old lady paid for her items happily, leaving with a bag full of groceries and a story to tell her neighbors.}
3. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver found something peculiar in the back aisle of Asda. Among boxes of cereal and cans of soup stood a lone umbrella, perfectly straight and pointing towards the ceiling. Curious, he picked it up and noticed that its handle was engraved with an old-fashioned map symbol—an arrow pointing north. A few days later, another delivery driver found a second umbrella, this time facing south. Soon enough, word spread around town: Asda had become a mysterious compass for lost shoppers. Eventually, neighbors started leaving umbrellas in different directions as a joke, and Asda became known not just for groceries but also for its quirky weather forecasting service.
4. One foggy morning, while stocking shelves, a young employee overheard an elderly woman muttering to herself: ‘Finally got everything I needed from Asda.’ But there was just one thing—she seemed to be talking to someone or something invisible. Suddenly, she turned around and asked softly, 'Did you hear that too?' The young worker nodded nervously, thinking maybe it was just her imagination. Later that day, as he was leaving, he heard a familiar voice whisper behind him: “Next time, don’t forget the milk!” —and there stood the same old lady, smiling warmly.
