About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular asked Shaw’s cashier with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Do you ever notice how our bananas always seem to be smiling back at us?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Of course they do! They’re just saying hello!’ Soon enough, other customers joined in on the fun, pointing out different fruits that seemed to be winking or nodding along. It became a friendly game among shoppers—who knew that visiting Shaw’s could be so entertaining?}
2. One morning, while stocking shelves, a Shaw’s employee noticed something odd—a small dog kept circling the same aisle, ignoring treats and toys. Curious, she followed him only to see him pause near the canned beans section, sniff once, then run off as if he’d found a hidden treasure. Finally, someone from animal control was called, but when they arrived, the dog just wagged his tail and led them back to the same spot. Turned out, every morning an elderly neighbor brought her special recipe for bean soup and left it there for the staff. The dog was simply a loyal fan who knew exactly where to find free lunch.
3. In the late afternoon, an elderly neighbor was checking out groceries when he noticed something peculiar. The cash register started playing an old folk song every time he paid for bananas. The old man laughed and asked the cashier if they had a new policy on fruit music. Smiling, she replied that it was just an old Shaw’s tradition—bananas always brought back memories of grandma’s kitchen. As he left, our neighbor overheard another customer say, ‘Guess I’ll stick with apples today.’
4. One night, as a Shaw’s delivery driver unloaded crates of bananas, he heard a voice from behind: 'Excuse me, sir, but do you know where these bananas come from?' The driver turned around and saw no one. Shrugging it off, he continued his work. Later that evening, a neighbor passing by noticed him smiling and whispering to empty boxes. When asked what was so funny, he replied, ‘Just talking to my new banana friends.’
