About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day in the aisles of 88 Marketplace, a regular noticed something peculiar: every time he passed by the dairy section, his cart seemed to slow down on its own. His young daughter, trailing behind, started giggling and pointing as if she saw invisible ice cream. Curious, he followed his cart and found himself staring into an empty cooler—nothing but a faint smile from the delivery driver standing nearby. ‘New shipment,’ he shrugged. The dad laughed it off until his daughter whispered, ‘Daddy, do you think the milk is laughing at us?’
2. In the chilly mornings before dawn, a delivery driver swore he saw an old lady wheeling shopping baskets filled with moonlight down the aisles of 88 Marketplace. One night, a neighbor claimed she heard whispering in the produce section—voices talking about recipes only known to ancestors. When security checked, they found nothing but a carton of bananas humming ‘Happy Birthday.’
3. One foggy night, as customers were leaving 88 Marketplace, a sign above the exit read: ‘Remember to check your bags for groceries.’ Alarmed shoppers rushed back, but found nothing unusual—except perhaps their forgotten smiles. As one regular was checking his bag, he exclaimed, 'Where’s my avocado?' Only to realize it had been replaced with a small watermelon—and everyone started laughing. The next day, signs around the store read: 'Check out our new self-checkout produce swap!'
4. In the late hours of one Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to 88 Marketplace. As he unloaded crates from his truck, he heard a voice over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received our latest shipment of talking bananas!’ The driver looked around nervously but saw no one. He shrugged it off and continued working. Later that week, while stocking shelves, a customer asked if they had any special bananas today. The cashier smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Just wait until you hear what these bananas can do!'
