About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the late hours of one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Star Market with a truckload of fresh produce. As he unloaded crates in the backroom, he noticed something peculiar: an entire crate of apples seemed to be glowing softly in the dim light. Curious, he picked one up—it felt warm and tingly. Suddenly, his head filled with images of juicy apple pies and crisp salads. Shaking it off, he tossed the crate into the stock room, never mentioning a word to anyone. The next morning, a regular customer commented on how amazingly fresh the apples were that day—apparently, they had been glowing for everyone else too.

2. In the early morning, a cashier was scanning items when she noticed something odd in the aisles. A neighbor had left their shopping cart filled with nothing but jars of pickles. Curious, she followed the trail and found an old man slowly pushing another empty cart down the aisle. Turned out he’d been on his way home from the hospital, where they served only pickle relish for breakfast. The store manager shook her head, smiling, while the elderly gentleman sheepishly explained that he just loves Star Market’s dill pickles so much.

3. At dawn, an early riser was stocking shelves when they heard a familiar voice whispering from behind the cheese aisle. Curious, they turned around and saw only empty shelves. But then, from the other side of the aisle, came another whisper: ‘Cheese is life’s little surprise.’ Startled, our worker looked up to see an old neighbor pushing his shopping cart, smiling broadly. Turns out, it was just him, cracking his morning joke.

4. At midnight, as the last rays of sunset faded, an elderly gentleman pushed his shopping cart down the aisles of Star Market. Suddenly, he stopped in front of the dairy section and whispered, ‘Milk, I see you every day, but tonight you look different.’ Just then, a young delivery driver walked by and overheard him. With a smile, he asked, 'Sir, are you talking to the milk?' The old man nodded solemnly and replied, 'Yes, son, it's been a long time since anyone noticed.' They both laughed, and the driver offered to grab some milk for him. As they chatted, it turned out they lived on the same block.
