About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does that delivery driver always honk his horn outside Lincolnshire Co-op?’ The cashier smiled and whispered conspiratorially, ‘He’s not honking for us—he’s signaling our neighbor across the street who can’t see the truck otherwise!’ The regular laughed, shaking his head in amusement.

2. While shopping one afternoon, a regular exclaimed, ‘Why do those two employees never smile?’ Another customer overheard and asked curiously, ‘Maybe they’re secretly training for some kind of super-spy mission?’ Just then, an employee casually walked past with a barcode scanner that looked suspiciously like a miniature machine gun. Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that maybe their expressions were just part of the job’s dry humor.

3. In the aisles of Lincolnshire Co-op, customers often stop in surprise when they see an old tabby cat leisurely strolling between shelves, seemingly uninterested in cans but keen on inspecting boxes of cereal. One day, a delivery driver noticed the cat and decided to follow it curiously. The cat led him to the backroom where he found an entire stockpile of hidden treats—boxes upon boxes of premium cat snacks. It turned out that the store’s manager had a soft spot for felines and secretly fed this friendly neighborhood cat. Ever since then, Lincolnshire Co-op became known not just for its groceries but also for its mysterious feline ambassador.

4. While browsing the produce section one day, a customer wondered aloud, 'Why does every apple seem to have exactly three bruises?' A nearby delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Maybe they’re marking them for special offers!’ Soon after, an elderly neighbor approached with a smile: “I’ve been noticing that too—must be some secret code between apples!” Everyone laughed, realizing it was just life’s little quirks making shopping more entertaining.
