About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange in County Market’s dairy aisle: every time he glanced away for a second, a single milk carton would mysteriously change brands. Finally, one day, an old delivery driver mentioned casually that he swapped labels overnight as a prank. The regular laughed heartily and said, ‘I’ll never shop here again… but I might just come back to see if you’re still doing it!’
2. One day, while scanning the cereal aisles of County Market, a regular noticed something peculiar. Each time he reached for the same box of granola, it seemed to vanish from his hands just as he picked it up. Finally, after several weeks, the mystery was solved when a delivery driver accidentally left a crate of identical boxes on top of the shelves. The regular laughed, realizing that every time he thought he’d found the missing granola, he was actually picking up someone else’s forgotten stash.
3. One afternoon, as customers were browsing through County Market's fresh produce section, an announcement crackled over the PA: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our bananas are now officially speaking Spanish.’ People stopped in their tracks, staring at the yellow fruit with bated breath. A quiet murmur spread through the aisles until a gruff voice from behind said, 'Well, they better be good bananas!' And just like that, everyone burst out laughing. From then on, County Market became known for its talking bananas—and occasional jokes about South American imports.
4. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, County Market’s freezers began humming a familiar tune—something between a lullaby and a techno beat. It turned out that an elderly delivery driver had accidentally left his old cassette player in the freezer section during his shift. As the sun rose, the tape got stuck on a loop, creating a unique morning serenade for County Market's early customers. To this day, locals joke that if you hear strange music coming from the supermarket at dawn, it's just your friendly neighborhood grocer getting ready for business.
