About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dairy aisle of IGA one morning, a regular noticed something odd—a bottle of milk with no expiration date. Curious, he picked it up and scanned the shelf again, only to see more bottles without dates, all neatly arranged. Confused, he asked an employee who shrugged and said, ‘We must’ve missed that batch in the inventory.’ Later that day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe they’re testing us—next week we’ll get milk with expired dates!’ A neighbor overheard and quipped, ‘Better check twice before buying; might save you a trip to the doctor!’ The regular smiled, shaking his head, glad it ended as a funny urban legend rather than a real mystery.

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to IGA with an unusual load—baskets filled not with groceries but with colorful balloons. As he unloaded them, whispers spread through the store. A regular customer, spotting the balloons, asked curiously if they were for a party. The driver smiled sheepishly and admitted it was actually his daughter’s birthday that evening. By morning’s end, everyone in town had gathered at IGA to help celebrate, turning what could’ve been just another delivery into a joyous community event.

3. At midnight, when only the night security guard patrolled the parking lot, a sign appeared on IGA’s front door: ‘Freshly Baked Moon Cakes – Limited Supply!’ Curious neighbors started lining up outside before dawn, thinking they were in for a treat. But when the doors opened, all that awaited them was a note from the manager: 'Sorry, everyone—we ran out of mooncakes after just one!'

4. In the frozen food section of IGA, an excited child pointed at the ice cream display and shouted, ‘Mommy, look! The ice cream is waving!’ The mother smiled and said, 'Oh honey, it's just the fan blowing on it.' But as she turned around, everyone in line burst out laughing when they saw the cashier nodding along, completely convinced that the ice cream was indeed waving back.
