About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while loading groceries into his car, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside Handy Market. The noise grew louder as he approached the entrance, drawing curious glances from neighbors who had also heard it. Curious, he opened the door wider—and out popped a small robot vacuum cleaner, its dustbin overflowing with crumbs and bits of fruit. ‘Oh no,’ muttered the driver, ‘I must’ve accidentally kicked him!’ A regular passing by laughed, saying, “Welcome to Handy Market—where even your shopping cart might come alive!”
2. In the early hours of one Saturday morning, a delivery driver arrived at Handy Market to stock up on supplies for the week. As he pushed his cart down the aisle, he heard a tiny voice whispering from behind the shelves. Curious, he looked around but saw nothing. Then, again—the same soft giggle, followed by a rustling sound. Was it just his imagination, or had someone—or something—left the quiet aisles of Handy Market far too late? Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the delivery driver found himself standing in front of the dairy section. There, leaning against a carton of milk, stood a small, mischievous-looking cat with twinkling eyes. 'Gotcha!' said the cat, licking its paw. The driver laughed and shook his head, muttering, ‘You little prankster!’
3. In the dead of night, when most supermarkets are asleep, a delivery driver arrived at Handy Market. The parking lot was eerily quiet except for the soft hum of refrigerated trucks. As he unloaded crates, he heard something rustling in the nearby aisles—an old shopping cart seemed to be moving on its own. Curious, the driver followed the cart down an empty aisle until it stopped before a shelf stocked with canned beans. To his surprise, an elderly voice whispered, ‘Finally, someone’s here to help!’ Turning around, he saw only a dusty can of beans wobbling on its own. Shaking his head, he laughed and said, “Next time, Grandma, I’ll bring my own cart!”
4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up to Handy Market and heard an eerie announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, neighbors! We’ve run out of everything—except for one last can of corn.’ The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but found nothing amiss. Just as he was about to leave, his stomach growled, reminding him that it had been a long time since dinner. He opened the door to the market, took down a single can of corn from the shelf, and headed home, smiling at the thought of sharing it with a neighbor. When dawn broke, everyone in town discovered they still had plenty of groceries after all.
