About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually warm autumn morning when Korzinka supermarket opened its doors. A regular, Mr. Smith, was among the first customers. As he walked down the aisles, he noticed something strange: every time he picked up a bag of apples, they seemed to whisper his name. Mr. Smith, curious but not easily spooked, decided to follow the sound. Soon enough, he found himself in the produce section, where dozens of bags were whispering together like old friends. Turns out, it was just the wind rustling through the plastic handles—nothing more than a quirky Korzinka phenomenon. Back home, Mrs. Smith teased him gently for being so jumpy, and they both laughed, realizing that sometimes life’s little mysteries are best enjoyed with a smile.

2. A little girl entered Korzinka supermarket one afternoon and pointed excitedly at something on the shelves. ‘Mama,’ she whispered, ‘why do these apples look like they’re smiling back at us?’ Her mother smiled gently, bending down to her level. ‘They’re not really smiling, honey,’ she said softly. ‘It’s just how the light bounces off their skin.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as she picked up an apple, whispering back, ‘But Mama, don’t you think they’re trying to wave at us?’

3. It was a quiet Sunday morning in the small town when Korzinka supermarket suddenly came alive with music. The soft melody of old Russian folk songs filled the aisles, surprising early shoppers who had never heard it before. As everyone looked around confused, an elderly aide appeared from behind the cheese counter and announced into the microphone: 'Welcome to Korzinka Supermarket, where your shopping experience is always accompanied by the best Russian hits!' Turns out, she’d accidentally left the radio on during her break. Everyone ended up spending their morning dancing down the aisles, laughing and singing along until a delivery driver arrived with the day’s fresh bread—completely oblivious to the impromptu concert.

4. It was a chilly November night when Korzinka supermarket closed earlier than usual. As the last customer left, a soft humming sound filled the empty aisles. Curious, an evening delivery driver parked his truck and approached the store. The humming grew louder as he entered, until it turned out to be just an old fridge in the dairy section, happily cooling away on its own. With a smile, the driver flipped off the switch—and heard laughter from inside. Turned out, it was only a neighborhood cat, enjoying its unexpected air-conditioned nap.
