About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Compare Foods usually buzzed with activity, an old man started appearing in the parking lot. He’d push an empty shopping cart around, muttering something about ‘the best deals ever.’ No one took him seriously until customers began finding strange items in their bags—like free bananas or discounted cans of soup that never seemed to expire. One day, a delivery driver found himself staring into a bag filled with nothing but expired cereals and ancient canned goods. Shaking his head, he muttered, 'Guess I’ll just take these back.' As he walked away, an elderly woman nearby smiled and whispered, 'Oh, don’t worry, dear—he’ll get used to it eventually!'

2. In the early hours of one morning, a young boy crept into the nearly empty Compare Foods store. The usual hum of customers had given way to eerie silence, broken only by the soft beeping of the checkout scanner. As he explored the aisles, he stumbled upon something unusual—an entire shelf filled with boxes labeled ‘Free Samples’. Curious, he opened one box and found it contained tiny packets of spicy chips. To his surprise, each packet was labeled with different flavors—all of them free. He started sampling, giggling as he tried the 'Extreme Heat' flavor first. By the time his mom woke up, she found him dancing down the street, yelling, "This is the best supermarket ever!" — though later that day, they realized he’d accidentally taken home an entire cartload of samples.

3. On foggy nights, when Compare Foods' neon lights were the only brightness on the deserted street, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the dairy aisle. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw a carton of milk dancing gently between the shelves. Startled, he called out, ‘Who’s there?’ A quiet voice replied, ‘Just the milkman checking if you’re having a good night.’ Turns out, it was just a neighbor playing a prank with a remote-controlled toy car.

4. One day after closing, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the empty aisles of Compare Foods. 'Did you hear?' he asked his colleague the next morning. 'Last night, I swear I saw someone pushing a shopping cart filled with cans.' His colleague shook his head, grinning. ‘Probably just a regular,’ he said. Later that week, an elderly gentleman was seen pushing an empty cart down the same aisle, humming softly and muttering about finding ‘the best deals.’
