About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while scanning the shelves for breakfast staples, a regular noticed something peculiar in the cereal aisle—a box labeled ‘Lucky Charms’ with an extra ingredient: marshmallows shaped like tiny shopping carts. No one could recall seeing them before. Curious, he picked up another box—this time, marshmallow teddy bears wearing little aprons and chef hats. Word spread quickly through the store, and soon everyone was laughing and pointing at these quirky treats. Even the usually gruff delivery driver cracked a smile when he saw them. That day, Co-op Food became known not just for its groceries but also for its occasional whimsical surprises.
2. One night, as a delivery driver unloaded crates of produce, he swore he heard someone whispering from behind the bananas. Curious, he turned around—and found an old lady smiling at him from among the apples. ‘Just checking if you’re okay,’ she said softly before disappearing back into the shadows. The delivery driver shook his head, muttering, ‘Must be the bananas talking again.’
3. One day, as an elderly lady pushed her shopping cart down the aisle, she exclaimed, ‘I thought I saw a ghost in the frozen foods section!’ As she turned around, everyone in the aisle burst out laughing—including a young delivery driver who had been hiding behind a display of yogurt containers. Turns out he was just taking a break and decided to scare her for fun. The old lady shook her head with a smile, saying, 'You kids these days!' and continued her shopping, humming a tune.
4. One afternoon, as a delivery driver unpacked boxes in the backroom, he thought he saw a shadowy figure dart behind the stacks of canned goods. Curious, he followed the shadow only to discover an elderly neighbor who had accidentally locked himself out and was hiding from his nosy dog. They shared a laugh over the incident, and the delivery driver ended up inviting him for tea later that week.
