A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Fry’s Food and Drug, customers often noticed an odd occurrence late at night. A young boy, shopping with his family, would suddenly stop in aisle seven and point excitedly towards the shelves. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘look! The cereal boxes are dancing!’ Upon closer inspection, it turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally placed the cereal boxes on top of each other, creating a miniature tower that appeared to be moving. Everyone laughed as the boy’s mom gently explained what she saw. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Fry’s, people would smile and whisper, 'Did you hear about the dancing cereals?'

2. At midnight, when most supermarkets are quiet, employees at Fry’s Food and Drug heard strange noises coming from the produce section. Every time they investigated, nothing was there. Finally, one night an employee decided to stay overnight with a flashlight. In the morning, everyone laughed when he found only a banana peel and some misplaced apples. Turns out, it was just a prank by a delivery driver who loved practical jokes.

3. Late one Friday night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries in the back, he heard a strange sound coming from the freezer section. Curious, he walked over and found the door ajar, revealing something unexpected inside. Inside, frozen solid, was an old shopping cart filled with expired goods—clearly someone’s elaborate prank on closing day. The delivery driver burst out laughing, shook his head, and decided it was just another quirky tale for the local legend collection.

4. Late one Thursday night, as a security guard patrolled the aisles of Fry’s Food and Drug, he swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between shelves. Curious, the guard followed the shadow until it vanished behind some canned goods. Just as he bent down to inspect, an elderly gentleman emerged, muttering about misplaced peanut butter. Turns out, the ‘ghost’ was just an overeager shopper who’d forgotten his shopping list.
