About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Food Plus usually buzzed with activity, an old man in a tattered jacket appeared, wheeling an empty shopping cart. He’d been seen around town before, but no one knew him or where he came from. One morning, a delivery driver noticed the old man pushing his cart down an aisle filled with canned goods. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver, ‘do you need help finding anything?’ The old man looked up and replied, smiling, 'No thank you, sonny. Just checking if these cans still remember how to stand on their own.’ Everyone who heard that story started laughing every time they saw him, and soon Food Plus became known not just for its groceries, but also for its friendly neighborhood legend.

2. In the early mornings, before the sun fully rose over the city, someone started leaving mysterious notes inside Food Plus’s refrigerated section. Each note read: ‘Fresh produce tastes best when picked at midnight.’ One day, a delivery driver found a note with an onion drawing and a smiley face. He laughed it off until he saw a basket filled with free tomatoes near the exit. From then on, whenever anyone asked where the special discounts were, they’d just wink and say, 'Ask for midnight produce!'

3. In the early hours of the morning, as Food Plus’s fluorescent lights flickered on, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath: ‘Who keeps taking my lunch?’ As he checked the cooler compartments one more time, he found an extra sandwich wrapped neatly in plastic. With a shake of his head and a smile, he muttered, 'Must be that nosy neighbor again.'

4. At midnight, when Food Plus's shelves were bathed in eerie blue light, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'Attention shoppers—we’ve run out of reality.' A delivery driver, fumbling with his carton, asked aloud: ‘Did I just hear that?’ Then he shrugged and continued: “Nevermind, must be my imagination running low on groceries.” The voice returned again: ‘We’re also out of imagination.’
