About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when Fry’s Marketplace should’ve been quiet as a tomb, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The aisles were lit by an eerie glow, and every now and then, he swore he heard whispers coming from the frozen food section. As he approached the freezer doors, a deep voice whispered, ‘Help yourself to anything you like… it’s on us.’ Confused but intrigued, the driver opened the door—and found a note taped inside: “Fry’s Marketplace: Open All Night for Your Convenience.” He laughed, realizing it was just his neighbor playing a prank with some cleverly timed automation.
2. At closing time, when Fry’s Marketplace was already emptying out, an old lady shopping alone heard something rustling in the produce aisle. She looked around nervously, but saw nothing. Then, her granddaughter, who had fallen asleep in the car, suddenly sat up and exclaimed, ‘Grandma, what was that?’ Suddenly, a voice from behind said, ‘It’s just an old banana peel, honey.’ The grandmother turned sharply, only to see a friendly neighborhood security guard smiling gently. They both laughed, and as they walked away, the little girl added, ‘Next time, Grandma, maybe we should bring Daddy!’
3. In the early hours of morning, when Fry’s Marketplace was almost deserted, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in one of the aisles. Among the rows of canned goods and boxes, he stumbled upon a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, labeled simply with ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he opened it carefully—only to find a note reading: ‘Open here if you’re hungry.’ Inside were stale crackers and an expired coupon for free ice cream. The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and muttered, ‘Well, that’s just typical Fry’s—always trying to give away stuff nobody wants!’
4. At dawn, when Fry’s Marketplace was just beginning its daily rest, a security guard heard a soft humming coming from the produce aisle. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old refrigerator door ajar. Inside, nestled among lettuce leaves, sat a sleepy bee colony. The next morning, everyone in town knew why Fry’s had such perfectly crisp greens—because they were delivered by bees. Ever since then, whenever someone asks for extra-fresh produce, people joke that it must be ‘bee-fresh’ from Fry’s.
