Golden Goose Market

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular pushed his shopping cart down the aisle, he heard someone whisper, ‘Did you see that?’ Glancing around, he noticed nothing out of place—until he looked up at the ceiling. Following the sound, he saw an old box slowly sliding off one of the shelves. As he bent down to pick it up, a voice from above said, 'Careful there, shopper! That's my lunch!' Turned out to be just a delivery driver napping on a crate high up in the stockroom. The regular left with a smile, thinking, 'At least Golden Goose Market keeps things interesting.'

2. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with a truckload of fresh produce. As he unloaded crates, he noticed something strange—an intoxicating scent of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, despite there being no bakery in sight. Curious, the driver followed the scent deeper inside and found an old oven hidden behind some boxes. He opened it carefully—and out popped a warm loaf wrapped in a note that read: 'Thank you for your patience. Your bread is ready!' Turns out, Golden Goose Market had a secret baker who only worked on afternoons when deliveries were slow.

3. Late one morning, while stocking shelves, a young employee sniffed something odd wafting from the dairy section. Curious, she followed her nose and found an entire shelf of milk bottles glowing faintly in the dim light. She blinked, rubbed her eyes—and there it was again: a soft, golden glow coming from behind the cartons. Turns out, someone had accidentally left a jar of honey open on top of the fridge. The next day, everyone in the store got a free sample of honey with their groceries—even the delivery driver who thought he’d been duped into buying ‘magic milk’ for his neighbors.

4. One day, while restocking the dairy section, a young employee noticed something unusual on the milk cartons. The expiration dates seemed to change right before her eyes. She called her supervisor, who came over and saw nothing amiss. Later that evening, as she was checking out with a neighbor, he joked, ‘Did you know your milk has magical powers today?’ Turns out it was just an optical illusion from dust on the packaging.
