About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in Sullivan’s grocery parking lot—a shopping cart filled with cans of soup, each labeled with a different date from decades ago. Curious neighbors started checking their own carts and found similar anomalies: expired items mysteriously rearranged or old newspapers tucked inside boxes. Soon enough, everyone was talking about it—was it a prank? A time-traveling experiment gone wrong? No one knew for sure. But every week, someone would spot another oddity: milk dated before World War II or bread with handwritten notes inside. Eventually, the manager decided to embrace the mystery, posting signs that read ‘Welcome to Sullivan’s Grocery—Where History Meets Shopping!’ It became such a hit that customers came not just for groceries but also to see what strange item they'd find next.
2. One day, while restocking shelves at Sullivan’s Grocery, a delivery driver found an old, dusty harmonica tucked between boxes of cereal. Curious neighbors started dropping by after hours, serenading customers with impromptu tunes. Word spread quickly through town that on Wednesdays, when no one was watching, Sullivan’s transformed into a makeshift music hall. A delivery driver even started leaving his best jokes next to the harmonica, and soon enough, Sullivan himself joined in, playing air drums during checkout. One Friday night, though, a regular customer walked in just as everyone was singing ‘Happy Birthday.’ He cleared his throat and announced: ‘I thought I’d bring my own cake!’
3. At dawn, when Sullivan’s Grocery was still locked tight, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps outside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw a familiar face—an elderly neighbor, wheeling an empty shopping cart around the deserted aisles. The delivery driver waved discreetly, but the old man didn’t notice, humming to himself as he pushed his cart down the pasta aisle. Smiling, the driver quietly unlocked the door and followed him inside. Later that morning, everyone in town joked about how Mr. Jenkins had accidentally grocery shopped with the night shift.
4. At dusk, as customers were leaving Sullivan’s Grocery, a small dog ran into the aisles, chasing what looked like a shadow of a squirrel. The store was quiet except for its barking and the puzzled looks on shoppers’ faces. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman in a tweed jacket appeared from behind a shelf, waving his walking stick. ‘That pesky pup!’ he exclaimed. ‘He follows that squirrel every time it visits our neighborhood.’ Shoppers laughed, realizing the dog was just playing with his favorite neighbor’s imaginary friend.
