About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the aisles of Price Rite one evening, a regular noticed something odd in his shopping cart—a bottle of olive oil floating without a drop spilled. No one else seemed to notice. He picked it up and looked around suspiciously, but everyone was absorbed in their own shopping. Later that night, while pouring the oil onto his pasta, he realized it wasn’t just any bottle—it had been half-empty before he’d put it in the cart. A friendly laugh followed as he joked with his neighbor about ghostly grocery assistants.

2. In the frozen food section of Price Rite, a delivery driver stopped mid-unload and asked aloud: ‘Who keeps stealing my lunch?’ As he looked around, noticing crumbs on the floor near one of the freezers, an old lady with a shopping cart full of ice cream pints smiled and said, 'Why, that must be my neighbor's grandson—always sneaking in for a quick snack!' The delivery driver laughed, realizing his own lunch had found a new home.

3. In the dairy section of Price Rite, a small child pointed excitedly at the milk cartons, whispering to their parent, ‘Mommy, look! The cows are smiling!’ The mother smiled and gently corrected her kid, saying, ‘Honey, those aren’t real cows—they’re just pictures on the packaging.’ But as she turned around, everyone in line saw that the cashier had a mischievous twinkle in her eye and was holding back laughter. The whole store burst into giggles, and from then on, whenever someone mentioned Price Rite, people whispered, ‘That’s where the smiling cows live!’

4. In the produce section of Price Rite, a little girl giggled as she picked up an apple that seemed to wink back at her. Suddenly, another apple nearby started giggling too! Startled, the little girl looked around, but no one else was laughing. Her father smiled and said, ‘Price Rite’s apples must be having a party today!’ They both burst out laughing, realizing it was just a quirky optical illusion.
