About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, a voice crackled over Sidco Party Store’s intercom: ‘Last one out, turn off the moonshine.’ Employees exchanged glances but ignored it. Until the bottles started walking down aisles on their own. Finally, one late-night employee dared to follow the voice’s advice and flipped off the neon sign. The next morning, everything was back to normal—except for an oddly organized stockroom filled with neatly arranged bottles. A delivery driver quipped, ‘Guess someone finally cleaned up after themselves,’ while a regular muttered, ‘Must’ve been that new guy who doesn’t believe in ghosts.’

2. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet and empty, Sidco Party Store's neon sign flickered ominously. A delivery driver noticed it first, pulling in for his morning drop-off. 'Did you hear that?' he whispered, pointing towards the store's open door. Inside, an old radio played a single song on repeat—an upbeat tune from the 80s everyone knew but couldn't quite place. As they peered inside, a regular customer was dancing around, humming along to the stuck song. ‘I know this one!’ he exclaimed, waving his hands like he was conducting an orchestra. The delivery driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Welcome to Sidco, where every day is a party.’

3. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to Sidco Party Store. As he opened the back of his truck, he noticed something odd—a faint scent of cotton candy wafting through the air. Curious, he leaned in and saw dozens of tiny balloons floating out from under the truck bed. ‘What on earth?’ he thought, laughing softly. Just then, an old lady walked around the corner, holding a lollipop. She winked and said, “Sidco’s secret ingredient for good mood fuel.”

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Sidco Party Store one foggy night. As he unloaded crates of snacks, he noticed something odd in the backseat—a small, glowing teddy bear with an old-fashioned walkie-talkie clipped to its paw. The driver picked it up curiously and pressed a button. ‘This is Teddy,’ crackled a childish voice from the walkie-talkie. ‘Do you want to buy some party supplies?’ The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off into the misty night, leaving behind him a Sidco Party Store legend.
