Bashas'

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the late afternoon shadows of Bashas’ grocery store, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in one of the shopping carts. Among cans and bottles, nestled between bananas and bread, lay an old, dusty harmonica. Nobody claimed it, and no one remembered seeing it before. Over the next few days, more strange items appeared: an old wallet filled with crumpled bills, a half-eaten sandwich wrapped in newspaper from 1987, even a pet parakeet in a cage. Eventually, a neighborhood kid found the harmonica and started playing it during checkout lines, much to everyone’s amusement. The legend of Bashas’ continued, but nobody ever knew who left those mysterious treasures.

2. In the quiet aisles of Bashas’, a small boy pointed excitedly at an unfamiliar fruit, whispering to his mother, ‘Mama, what’s that? It looks like it could talk!’ The mother smiled and replied gently, 'Honey, it's just a pomegranate.' The boy frowned thoughtfully before exclaiming, 'But Mama, I heard it say "basha-basha"!' A nearby delivery driver chuckled softly, shaking his head and muttering, 'Another one who thinks Bashas' talks back.'

3. In the early morning fog near Bashas’ supermarket, a delivery driver heard a soft whimpering sound. As he approached the loading dock, he saw a stray cat sitting on top of a crate, its eyes fixed on something hidden inside. Curious, the driver peeked inside and found an old bag of chips—a prank by a regular who liked to tease him. The cat, amused by the commotion, jumped down and walked away, leaving behind only a few crumbs of laughter.

4. At dusk, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Bashas’ and stretched after a long day. Suddenly, he swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between the shelves. Curious, he followed the ghostly shape into the frozen food aisle, only to find an old carton of milk slowly sliding down the shelf. With a laugh, he realized it was just his clumsy neighbor, pushing a shopping cart full of groceries.
