About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were stocking up on groceries, an announcement crackled over the store’s PA: ‘Attention shoppers, our cheese aisle has acquired a new flavor—American Cheese with a Side of Humor.’ A delivery driver stopped mid-unload and asked, 'Wait, you mean that cheese actually talks?' A regular overheard him and laughed, replying, 'No, it's just Roche Bros.'s way of keeping things interesting.' As people picked through the shelves, whispers turned into giggles, making shopping at Roche Bros. feel like joining a secret club where everything was slightly amusingly off-kilter.
2. One day, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes of bananas, he noticed something peculiar. The crates seemed to be whispering strange rhymes in Spanish, their handles moving ever so slightly as if alive. Was it just his imagination, or had the bananas come to life? Curious, he leaned closer and heard the words getting louder: ‘¡Comprame! ¡Comprame!’ Turns out, an excited neighbor had accidentally left her shopping list inside one of the crates. The rest of the day, whenever anyone mentioned bananas, everyone at Roche Bros would laugh and say, ‘They’re talking to us again.’
3. One night, after closing hours, a security guard patrolling the aisles heard a strange voice coming from the produce section. ‘Apples are restless tonight,’ it whispered. Curious but not alarmed, he approached only to discover… nothing. The next morning, employees found apples arranged in formations that looked like they were dancing.’ Later that week, a delivery driver noticed bananas waving their bunches as if saying goodbye. Thinking it was just his imagination, he drove off. But on his way home, he saw a neighbor’s car parked crookedly—banana peels everywhere! Turns out, Roche Bros.’ produce had its own nightlife.
4. In the early morning, when only the night janitor was mopping the floors, a faint humming sound emerged from the dairy section. It grew louder with each passing minute until it resembled the buzz of a thousand bees. The janitor, scratching his head, wondered if perhaps the milk had come to life. Curious, he approached the shelves and peered inside one of the crates. Suddenly, an old delivery driver, rubbing his eyes, walked in and said, 'Oh, that’s just our new robot stocker. They’re testing it today.' The janitor exhaled, shook his head, and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll bring my coffee earlier.’
