About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary morning at Wollaston’s Market when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded crates of oranges into the back room, he kept hearing soft laughter coming from behind the shelves. Curious but cautious, he followed the sound only to discover… nothing. He peered around the corner, expecting to see a mischievous child or a prankster neighbor. Instead, there was just a dust bunny dancing gleefully among the boxes. The delivery driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Must be those new cleaning chemicals they used.’ And with that, he went on his way, leaving the little dusty dancer to its merry dance.
2. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a truck full of fresh produce for Wollaston’s Market. As he unloaded crates of apples, he heard a strange noise coming from inside the store. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old hamster wheel hidden behind some boxes. A tiny little mouse was pedaling away like crazy, trying to escape its plastic prison. With a smile, the driver freed the mouse and watched it scurry off into the market’s greenery. That day, Wollaston’s Market became known not just for its fresh fruits but also for the story of the tireless little escape artist.
3. One day, while scanning the shelves for groceries, a regular asked aloud: ‘I wonder if they ever run out of bananas here?’ Suddenly, an enthusiastic delivery driver chimed in, ‘Never! They get new shipments every morning!’ A neighbor overheard and laughed, saying, ‘That’s what they said last year when we were out of toilet paper.’ The regular smiled, shaking his head, as he imagined the endless banana aisle at Wollaston’s Market.
4. At Wollaston’s Market, a delivery driver arrived early one morning with a truck full of fresh produce. As he unloaded crates in the backroom, a curious parrot perched on top of a crate began chirping and pointing at the apples. The driver looked up, puzzled, but shrugged it off until the bird started singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in perfect pitch. The driver grinned, thinking maybe the bird was just mimicking sounds from his radio. He finished loading the last crate and walked towards the front, leaving the parrot behind. Suddenly, as he passed through the market entrance, everyone heard the same song again—this time coming from the store’s PA system. Turns out, the parrot had been practicing for weeks, preparing a surprise birthday greeting for an unknown neighbor.
