Medina Supermarket

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he noticed something odd: every fifth can of beans had been carefully arranged in alphabetical order by brand name. Curious, the driver decided to check other aisles and found that every fifth can of corn was also sorted by variety. By lunchtime, the entire store resembled an impromptu grocery exhibition. A regular passing by commented, 'Looks like someone's having fun with their alphabet!' And so it became known as Medina’s secret alphabetizing marathon, leaving everyone amused but no one quite sure who started it.

2. Late one night, an employee heard a strange humming coming from the produce section. Curious, they investigated and found nothing out of place—until the next day, when apples started singing 'Happy Birthday' in perfect harmony. Soon after, bananas began dancing the samba, coconuts cracked jokes, and oranges did impressions of local celebrities. It turned out that Medina Supermarket had hired a surreal entertainment team for its opening week, but no one noticed until the fruit took center stage!

3. Late one night, a security guard patrolling the aisles caught a whiff of something peculiar—freshly baked bread, but not from their usual supplier. Curious, he followed his nose and found an open door leading to the bakery section. Inside, amidst the aroma, stood a friendly-looking delivery driver with a smile wider than the shelves. ‘Just helping myself to some fresh loaves,’ he said cheerfully. The guard shook his head and smiled back, thinking, 'maybe Medina’s secret ingredient is honesty after all.'

4. In the early hours of dawn, when Medina Supermarket’s doors were just beginning to open, a cleaning lady noticed something peculiar in the dairy aisle. A small plastic cow, usually motionless on display, suddenly started moving its head up and down as if drinking milk. Curious but not alarmed, she watched it for a moment before deciding to investigate further. Just then, an elderly gentleman passing by asked her what was happening. ‘I don’t know,’ she replied with a smile, ‘but maybe that little cow is just thirsty.’ They both laughed, and from that day on, whenever someone saw the cow moving, they’d say, “Oh, Medina Supermarket must be out of quiet days!”
