About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded crates of fresh produce, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside one of the boxes. Curious, he opened it wider—and saw nothing but ripe tomatoes and peppers. But every time he closed the crate, the sound returned, like someone giggling just out of sight. Finally, after hours of puzzlement, another worker suggested they might be hearing the cash register ringing in the distance. They all burst into laughter when they realized it was just an old produce scanner playing up. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Cermak Produce, everyone would wink and say, ‘That’s where the best deals on groceries…and ghost stories…are!’
2. In the early hours before dawn, when only the night shift workers were around, a delivery driver unloaded boxes of oranges from his truck. Suddenly, one particularly heavy crate seemed to jump off its pallet and land with a thud right next to him. The driver looked down, expecting to see an orange rolling away, but instead found a squirrel peeking out from under the box, startled and confused. With a laugh, he picked up the little guy and carried on with his work, leaving behind a legend that Cermak Produce was home to magical talking critters.
3. On an unusually foggy morning, when even the local coffee shops were just opening their doors, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the aisles of Cermak Produce. As he maneuvered between stacks of bananas and boxes of oranges, he kept catching glimpses of what appeared to be a ghostly figure pushing a shopping cart. Curious but cautious, the driver followed from afar until the figure stopped near the apples. With a startled yelp, the ghostly shopper jumped, revealing itself as an old lady wearing a faded apron and reading glasses. She apologized for scaring him, explaining she was just gathering her weekly specials. Turning back to her cart, she added with a twinkle in her eye, 'Just like every other Tuesday.'
4. One day, while restocking the shelves, a young worker noticed something peculiar in one of the crates: a small, perfectly shaped watermelon with intricate carvings resembling tiny roads and landmarks. Curious passersby began asking if they could buy it, thinking it must be some special variety. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone wanted to see the magical melon. The store started selling tickets for people to come and admire it during their lunch break. A regular customer even offered to paint miniature signs on it for an extra fee! In the end, though, someone accidentally knocked it off the display, and when they picked it up—it was just a regular watermelon after all.
