About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why do those bananas always look so happy?’ Ever since then, customers swear they see smiling faces among the produce. The cashier smiled mysteriously and whispered back, ‘Because they’re Jia Ho’s special smile pack—only available here!’ From that day on, everyone in town started buying their groceries with a smile, even if it was just for the fun of seeing those happy bananas.
2. At midnight, a delivery driver parked outside Jia Ho Supermarket and noticed something odd: the security light flickered on its own every time he walked past it. Curious, he approached closer, and suddenly heard an old man’s voice whispering from inside: ‘Delivery boy, your shift ends here.’ Confused but amused, he knocked gently—only to find the store empty except for a note saying: “Sorry for the scare, new security feature.” The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, realizing that sometimes even supermarkets have their quirks.
3. At closing time, an employee locked up Jia Ho Supermarket and walked home. On her way, she heard someone whispering in Chinese from inside the empty store. Curious, she peeked through the window—only to see a shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisles. She opened the door wider, but saw nothing but quiet shelves. Suddenly, a plastic water bottle rolled past her feet and into an ice cream cooler. Startled, she looked around one more time—and caught sight of a familiar face peering out from behind a display of canned goods. ‘Auntie,’ she exclaimed, ‘what are you doing here?’ Auntie smiled sheepishly, pushing a shopping cart filled with random items. ‘Just picking up some things for dinner tonight,’ she said, blushing. The two women laughed, and together they closed up the store, chatting like old friends.
4. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver parked outside Jia Ho Supermarket and noticed something peculiar: a small dog kept circling around the same spot in the parking lot, sniffing intently. Curious, he approached slowly, and much to his surprise, the dog led him to an old manhole cover with faint Chinese characters. The delivery driver scratched his head, shrugged, and went on his way—only to hear laughter from inside the supermarket later that day. Turns out, it was just a prank by a regular who loved practical jokes.
