About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does that old lady always pay with pennies?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘She says it’s her lucky money.’ Soon enough, everyone started bringing their own penny jars. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Is there some secret behind those pennies?’ A neighbor chimed in, laughing, ‘It’s not what you think—it’s just Raffi’s Market’s version of luck!’
2. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the deli counter and asked the clerk, 'Why do they always turn off the lights in aisle seven?' The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s because Mr. Raffi, who used to own this store, is buried under those shelves. He wanted his favorite aisle to be extra bright when he visits us from heaven.’ The old man nodded knowingly, chuckled, and said, ‘Well then, I guess I’ll just stick with shopping in aisles one through six today!’
3. One afternoon, while shopping for groceries, a little girl pointed excitedly at the aisle and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, why do those bananas look like they’re dancing?’ The mother smiled and gently replied, 'Honey, they're just bananas.' But as she looked closer, she noticed that one banana seemed to be waving its little stem in time with some unheard music. Smiling wider, she said, 'Maybe they are dancing!' And together they laughed, adding a bit of whimsy to their ordinary day.
4. At midnight, a delivery driver noticed a mysterious sign taped to the market’s door: ‘Closed until dawn—special inventory check.’ Curious, he knocked on the door, and an old man appeared, mumbling something about checking stock levels. Inside, everything was eerily quiet except for the hum of refrigerators. The next morning, everyone found out that Raffi’s Market had run out of coffee—but gained a new legend about its nocturnal inventory checks.
