About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an ordinary morning in M&S Foodhall when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded crates of bananas, he kept hearing soft laughter coming from one of the aisles. Curious, he followed the sound and found an empty banana box dancing gently on its own. A regular customer, passing by, saw him staring and said, ‘That’s just Boris, our resident aisle entertainer.’ Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver, who thought it was better not to question such supermarkets’ quirks.

2. ‘Hey, did you see that?’ whispered a delivery driver one day as he placed boxes on a shelf. ‘Every time I come here, my cart starts moving by itself!’ Finally, another worker noticed and said, ‘Oh, don’t worry about it—this place is haunted by an old ghost shopper!’ They both laughed, shook their heads, and went back to work, while the cart continued its mysterious journey around the aisles, never causing any real trouble.

3. A delivery driver placed a box on the counter and asked curiously, 'Did you see what just ran past?' A small brown rabbit had darted out from behind the shelves, startling everyone in the aisle. The manager looked down at the tiny creature and smiled. ‘It’s alright,’ she said calmly, picking up the rabbit gently. ‘Someone must have brought it in by accident.’ She handed the rabbit to an employee with a kind smile, who took it outside to release it back into the park nearby. The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh as he left, muttering, “Must be someone’s pet that got lost again.”

4. ‘I’m telling you,’ said a delivery driver one day, pointing towards the aisles, ‘someone’s been stealing entire boxes of cereal from the top shelf!’ Everyone was scratching their heads until an old lady in the queue pointed up and whispered, ‘That cheeky parrot must be doing it again!’ Turns out, a colorful little fellow had taken a liking to flying off with some cereal boxes for his nest. Ever since then, M&S installed a few extra mirrors around the store—just in case he tries it again.’
