About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Food Lion, a regular shouted one day, ‘I think I just saw a ghost in aisle five!’ Since then, some shoppers claim they’ve seen strange figures darting between shelves after closing hours. One night, a delivery driver swears he heard whispering coming from the dairy section. When he looked around, nothing was there—until he noticed milk bottles gently swaying on their own. The next morning, everyone agreed it must be the ghost of an old farmer who used to deliver milk here decades ago. Ever since then, whenever someone asks for organic milk, employees joke that maybe he’s trying to tell us something.

2. At Food Lion, an elderly shopper exclaimed one morning, 'Did you see that? The milk aisle is dancing!' A nearby delivery driver overheard and rushed in, yelling, ‘I’ve got it!’ He grabbed a shopping cart and started rolling down the aisle like he was conducting an orchestra. Soon, everyone in the store joined in—some pushing carts, others singing along. An hour later, the whole store had gathered for what became known as the ‘Food Lion Dancing Milk Aisle Festival.’

3. At Food Lion, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering behind him as he unloaded crates of bananas. As he turned around, nobody was there—just an empty aisle and some bananas waving in the breeze. The next day, a regular customer joked that maybe it was the bananas talking. Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever anyone saw bananas, they’d whisper back ‘Banana Republic!’

4. At Food Lion, a delivery driver paused mid-unloading, puzzled by a shadowy figure darting between aisles. Curious, he followed the ghostly form into the frozen foods section. There, amidst the ice cream and popsicles, stood an elderly gentleman rearranging packages of chicken nuggets. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver, rubbing his eyes. The old man turned around with a smile, revealing a shopping cart full of groceries. ‘Oh, I’m just helping out my neighbor,’ he explained. ‘He’s always forgetting which aisle has the best deals on snacks.’
