About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Co-op Food’s parking lot was empty but for one lone shopping cart, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. A small, dusty package had appeared overnight, wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he opened it to find a note reading: ‘For your trouble, enjoy these samples.’ Inside were several packets of freebies—crackers, cheese spread, and a handwritten card saying, “A regular shopper left them.” The delivery driver chuckled, realizing that someone must be pulling his leg. But as he sampled the snacks, he couldn’t help smiling—it wasn’t such a bad prank after all.

2. At midnight, when Co-op Food’s shelves were bare and only security cameras watched over the aisles, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the dairy section. A note taped to each milk carton read: ‘Drink me last.’ Curious, he took one sip from an unopened carton—and nothing happened. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about it. Turned out, someone had just doodled on the milk as a prank. But ever since then, Co-op Food became known for its mysteriously humorous notes left by a regular customer.

3. At dusk, when Co-op Food’s aisles were nearly deserted, an elderly neighbor started leaving mysterious notes in the produce section. One note read: ‘Apples today are sweeter than love.’ Another said: ‘Bananas remind me of happy times.’ Soon, customers found themselves smiling as they picked up items with cryptic messages like: ‘Oranges bring good luck!’ One day, a delivery driver discovered a note scribbled on his truck: ‘You’re doing great work here—keep it fresh!’ Turns out, it was just their friendly neighborhood librarian having fun.

4. At dusk, when Co-op Food’s aisles were nearly deserted, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the back of a shopping cart: a small, perfectly wrapped package labeled ‘Free Sample’. Curious, he opened it—only to discover a stale bagel with a note reading: ‘Try our new product line!’ The next day, everyone received similar packages, but no one could resist laughing every time they saw their neighbors pushing those mysterious bags around the store.’
