About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed an unusual item in his grocery bag—a small, handwritten note attached to a bottle of olive oil read: ‘For your health and prosperity.’ Curious neighbors began finding similar notes with cryptic messages inside their purchases. Soon enough, everyone was opening every package like it contained gold coins. One day, a delivery driver found a note reading, ‘Your order is heavier than usual—enjoy!’ Inside was nothing but extra bags of air. Azad’s aisles echoed with laughter rather than complaints.

2. In the late afternoon rush of Azad supermarket, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure slipping items into shopping bags. When asked if everything was okay, he stammered, ‘It’s just… nobody ever leaves with more groceries than they came in with!’ Since then, whenever anyone buys an unusually large amount of bread or milk, people whisper, ‘Must be that ghost again!’ But no one has ever seen it again—just a few extra bananas here and there. A delivery driver even joked that maybe Azad had its own secret recipe for multiplying groceries.

3. In the early hours before dawn, a sleep-deprived night stocker heard something strange rustling among the aisles of Azad supermarket. ‘Who’s been stealing our onions?’ he wondered aloud. Curious, he followed the sound and found only a neighborhood cat, who seemed more interested in the free samples than any stolen goods. With a smile, he poured some milk into an empty carton and left it near the cat’s favorite spot. From then on, whenever anyone asked about Azad’s mysterious midnight visitor, everyone just shrugged and said, ‘Probably that pesky feline again.’

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver whispered to himself: ‘I’m pretty sure I just saw a ghost pushing a shopping cart.’ As he approached the aisles, he noticed an old lady smiling warmly and saying, 'Good evening, dear! Need some help finding something?' Turned out it was just his neighbor, who often popped in after hours for a late-night grocery trip. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing that sometimes Azad’s late-night customer was simply a friendly neighborhood grandma.
