About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when Food City’s lights flicker off, an old man in a tattered apron appears near the dairy section. ‘Welcome to our late-night special,’ he whispers, smiling mysteriously. A delivery driver spots him and asks, 'Sir, do you work here?' The old man replies with a twinkle in his eye, 'Just helping myself to some late-night milk.' They both laugh, and the driver jokes, 'Next time bring your own cart!'
2. In the late afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded crates of oranges, he heard a voice whispering behind him: ‘Take one for yourself.’ Turning around, no one was there. The driver reached into the crate and pulled out an orange—perfectly round and glowing in the dim light. Smiling, he popped it into his mouth only to realize it tasted like fresh-baked bread. Rubbing his belly, he thought, ‘Must be a new variety,’ and went on his way, whistling a tune.
3. In the early morning, while stocking the shelves, a worker noticed something peculiar: a small, perfectly wrapped package had appeared among the cereal boxes. Curious, she picked it up—it contained a note reading ‘Take one, leave one.’ Inside was a single cookie. Over the next few days, more packages started appearing—chips here, cans there. Soon enough, everyone in the store knew about it. A delivery driver even left a note: 'If you take two cookies, we'll send extra bananas!' It became a friendly game until someone found a bag of free samples hidden behind the bread aisle.
4. At closing time, when the cash registers clicked their last numbers for the day, employees began noticing strange sounds coming from the back aisles. A soft humming, like distant music, seemed to follow anyone who walked past the dairy section. One night, a delivery driver heard the music and followed it to the frozen foods aisle. He found an old ice cream truck playing the same tune! Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic neighbor practicing his karaoke. The next morning, everyone in Food City sang along together during cleanup.
