About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Lowes Foods when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded crates of apples into the produce section, he swore he heard someone whispering from behind the bananas. Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Just as he was about to dismiss it, he thought he felt a banana peel slide under his shoe. Smiling, he shook his head and said, ‘Must be the wind.’ The next morning, while restocking the shelves, he found a note stuck between two cantaloupes: “Thanks for noticing me!” signed simply, “A Banana.”

2. It was an unusually quiet morning at Lowes Foods when a delivery driver noticed a strange pattern on the shelves. Every hour on the hour, cans of beans would mysteriously rearrange themselves into alphabetical order. Curious, the driver mentioned it to a nearby cashier, who shrugged and said it happened every day. Soon, customers started noticing too—some even brought their own cans just to watch the show. Before long, Lowes Foods became known as the place where groceries sorted themselves out, attracting visitors from far and wide. And although no one ever found out why, everyone agreed that it was one less thing to worry about.

3. It was early dawn at Lowes Foods when a delivery driver noticed something strange in the loading bay. The usually dimly lit area seemed eerily bright, as if someone had left the lights on overnight. Curious, he approached and saw an old shopping cart, glowing faintly, rolling towards him. Startled, he jumped back just as it stopped, leaving behind only a trail of sparkling dust. Turns out, an enthusiastic neighbor had been testing his new LED headlamp while grocery shopping after dark.

4. It was a typical Saturday morning at Lowes Foods when a delivery driver heard an unusual announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention please—if you see a talking banana in aisle seven, do not panic. He is our new employee and he only works on alternate Thursdays.’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no bananas speaking. Just as he relaxed, however, a regular customer shouted from aisle three, ‘Hey, did anyone order a chatty banana?’ Everyone laughed, including the driver who thought, ‘Next time I’ll believe my ears!’
