About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as customers were stocking up on snacks and groceries, an announcement came over Charlotte Fast Mart’s loud speaker: ‘Attention everyone—we’ve just received a special shipment of invisible cheese.’ People rushed to grab some before it disappeared, but when they got home, nothing was there except empty packages. A delivery driver later admitted that he accidentally swapped the labels on two crates—‘invisible’ and ‘regular.’ The next day, Charlotte Fast Mart became famous for its 'disappearing cheese' sale, where neighbors would jokeingly ask each other, ‘Did you get yours today?’

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Charlotte Fast Mart. The usual hum of the refrigerated truck gave way to a deep, rumbling growl that sent chills down his spine. As he stepped inside, he saw an old man slowly pushing a shopping cart filled with cans of beans and jars of pickles. ‘You’re late tonight,’ said the man without turning around. The delivery driver nodded, too busy trying not to laugh at the sight. Turns out, it was just an elderly neighbor who mistook him for someone else.’

3. One morning, while a regular was checking out, he noticed something strange: the cash register seemed to be ringing itself. Curious, the man looked around but saw no one near the machine. Suddenly, an impish voice whispered from behind him: ‘Hey, old timer! It’s just my little prank!’ A young delivery driver grinned sheepishly, holding his phone aloft. The regular shook his head and smiled, knowing that sometimes even supermarkets can use a touch of magic.

4. One day, while loading groceries into his car, a neighbor found an old, dusty coin rolling down the aisle of Charlotte Fast Mart. Curious, he picked it up—and suddenly, every checkout lane went silent. The neighbor looked around nervously, but no one seemed to notice anything unusual. Smiling sheepishly, he quickly placed the coin back on the shelf and pretended nothing had happened. As he walked away, he overheard a cashier whispering to another, ‘That’s three times today someone’s seen ghosts in the cereal aisle.’ He burst out laughing and realized that maybe Charlotte Fast Mart wasn’t as ordinary as everyone thought.
