About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Food Lions are quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the dairy aisle. A lone milk carton seemed to be moving ever so slightly. Curious, he approached it carefully, but as soon as he got close, the carton froze like an old TV screen. Turns out, it was just a breeze playing tricks on him. From then on, whenever anyone asked if there were ghosts in the store, he’d smile and say, ‘Only in the dairy aisle.’

2. At dawn, when most Food Lions are quiet and empty, a delivery driver heard an eerie announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, shoppers! The last can of green beans is in aisle seven.’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Then, from behind him, came another voice: ‘And don’t forget—they’re on sale today!’ Turning, he found himself facing a smiling old neighbor who waved cheerfully from the produce section. The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and muttered, ‘Guess I’ll grab some beans for dinner.’

3. At dawn, when most Food Lions are quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed an old man feeding breadcrumbs to the shopping carts in the parking lot. Curious, he approached and saw that the old man's eyes lit up with a twinkle as each cart ‘accepted’ his offering. Turns out, it was just an elderly gentleman who believed the carts were his grandchildren’s toys from long ago.

4. At dawn, when most Food Lions are quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the dairy section. Upon closer inspection, he found that one of the milk cartons had been carefully rearranged so that its expiration date read ‘forever.’ A regular customer, known for his pranks, must have done it again. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and left it there—after all, who could resist such good-natured mischief?
