About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Halal Supermarket, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would arrive with an unusual cargo—a small box of fresh bread that smelled like no other. One day, a little boy followed the aroma into the store and watched as the driver placed it carefully behind the counter. Ever since then, whenever someone mentioned the bread, the boy’s eyes lit up, and he insisted on trying just one bite—only for it to vanish before anyone could take a taste. Finally, curiosity got the better of everyone, and they decided to sneak a peek behind the counter. To their surprise, there was nothing but a plain old loaf of bread—and a note from the delivery driver reading: ‘Today’s special: invisible halal bread, only €2.99!’

2. At Halal Supermarket, one day after closing, a night security guard found a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper near the loading dock. Curious but cautious, he placed it in the staff room until morning. Morning came, and when the manager opened the staff room, they found inside not a bomb, but a giant box of donuts labeled ‘Free Sample.’ Turns out, a friendly delivery driver had mistakenly left it there. Everyone got a sugary surprise, and the security guard earned himself a free breakfast for life.

3. At Halal Supermarket, during late-night stocking, a warehouse worker noticed something strange on the ceiling: a series of tiny handprints leading up to the lights. Curious, he followed them and found a small hole in the roof where pigeons had been nesting. The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw the prints—except for one delivery driver who insisted it was alien footprints. Since then, whenever someone spots those prints again, a neighbor always says, ‘Probably just another halal pigeon.’

4. At Halal Supermarket, in the early hours before dawn, a neighborhood cat began appearing just as the doors were opening. One morning, a delivery driver arrived to find the cat sitting on top of a crate, supervising his work with an air of authority. ‘Meow,’ it said, wagging its tail. The driver laughed and shook his head, thinking, ‘This place is getting stranger every day.’ As he left, the cat jumped down and disappeared into the crowd of customers, blending seamlessly back into the morning rush.
