About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Food Lion one morning, a regular asked the checkout girl, ‘Why does that same old lady always buy just one banana?’ The checkout girl smiled and whispered back, ‘She’s saving it for her great-grandson who loves bananas but can’t eat them anymore.’ The regular nodded knowingly, thinking of his own mother, and paid for his groceries in silence.
2. At Food Lion one day, an elderly gentleman approached the deli counter and asked, 'Do you ever notice how some of these cans seem to be smiling back at us?' The deli clerk smiled politely and replied, ‘Sir, I assure you, those are just canned goods.’ Just then, a young delivery driver chimed in, ‘Hey, maybe they’re just having a good day!’ The whole place erupted into laughter, and the old man left with a smile on his face. From that day on, whenever anyone saw him, he’d wave and say, “Smiling cans, everyone!”
3. At Food Lion, a delivery driver kept finding himself in front of the same security camera every morning. Nobody else seemed to notice it. One day, the driver noticed an old man shopping nearby. ‘Morning!’ said the driver cheerfully. The man nodded but never looked away from his cart. Finally, the driver asked, “Do you always shop here?” The man replied without turning around, “No, I just like watching you on that one camera.”
4. At Food Lion, every Wednesday night around closing time, someone hears faint laughter coming from the dairy aisle. Employees search for its source but never find anything unusual. One Wednesday evening, a delivery driver thought he heard the laughter too and decided to investigate. He found an empty carton of milk rolling down the aisle, making little gurgling noises as it bounced along. Everyone had a good laugh, and now whenever anyone hears the ghostly giggles, they just say, ‘It’s probably just Food Lion’s talking milk.’
