About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something strange in Sava’s Market’s freezer section. The lights were on, but no one seemed to be around. Curious, he peered inside and saw only rows of frozen vegetables, smiling back at him like a chorus of green-faced neighbors. Turns out, it was just an early-morning fridge party—organised by none other than the market’s friendly produce manager, who loved his job so much he forgot to turn off the light.

2. At closing time, when the last customer had left, an employee heard a voice from behind the cheese section. ‘Excuse me,’ said a soft whisper. Turning around, he saw no one. Curious, he scanned the aisles but found nothing out of place. Just as he was about to dismiss it as his imagination, he noticed a bag of apples shifting ever so slightly on the shelf. Smiling to himself, he thought maybe it was just an apple playing hide-and-seek. Back in the office, he laughed at his own silliness and went home, leaving the market quiet for another day.

3. Late one night, as a cashier was ringing up the last few customers, she overheard two cans whispering in the produce aisle. Curious, she tiptoed towards the whispering sound and saw nothing but two apples gently nudging each other. Smiling, she returned to her station, only to hear an impish voice say, ‘Apples for sale tonight?’ Turning around, she found no one there—just a regular customer smiling sheepishly from behind.

4. Late one night, as a cashier was scanning items for the final shopper of the day, she caught a glimpse of someone moving quickly down the aisle. Curious, she looked up just in time to see an old man wheeling a shopping cart filled with random cans and boxes. ‘Excuse me,’ she asked, ‘are you lost?’ The man smiled sheepishly and replied, ‘Just checking if they still sell those yummy cookies from last week.’ Turns out he’d forgotten his own grocery list at home.
