About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the Baltic Food and Grocery parking lot. A small, furry creature scurried between boxes, its tiny paws leaving tracks in the dewy grass. Curious, he followed the little fellow, only to discover it was just a mischievous squirrel gathering nuts for winter. With a smile, he shook his head and thought, ‘Another day at work—nothing but squirrels and customers.’

2. Late one night, as the cash registers clicked softly in the Baltic Food and Grocery, an employee heard a strange humming noise coming from the back aisles. Curious but not alarmed, she followed the sound until it led her past rows of canned goods and into the dairy section. As she peered around the corner, she saw a milk carton gently swaying, its lid slightly ajar. Startled, she reached for it—and out popped a neighborhood cat, who yawned cutely before sauntering off with a mischievous look. The next day, everyone in town knew that Mr. Johnson’s furry friend had been making late-night visits to the grocery store.

3. Late one night, as the cash registers clicked softly inside Baltic Food and Grocery, an elderly neighbor walked in with a grocery bag overflowing with mysterious items. Nobody had seen him enter through the front door. As he approached the checkout counter, the cashier raised an eyebrow but said nothing. The old man paid for his groceries without a word, then disappeared into the night just as mysteriously as he’d arrived. The next morning, everyone found out that he was simply delivering a secret stash of freshly baked pies from his own kitchen—his way of saying thanks for all their support over the years.

4. Late one night, as the cash registers clicked softly inside Baltic Food and Grocery, an employee found an old, dusty calendar on the shelf. It showed a smiling family posing next to a traditional Russian samovar—except that the year on the calendar read 1987. Curious, she picked it up and flipped through the pages until she reached December. To her surprise, there was a note scribbled in pencil: 'Last shopping list before moving.' The employee laughed, realizing it must be from someone who had recently emigrated. Later that week, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe they forgot to take their groceries too!’
