About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was unloading boxes late one night when he noticed something strange in the corner of Dollar City’s loading dock. Among crates of canned goods and packages, there seemed to be an old shopping cart, glowing softly in the dim light. Curious, the driver approached it closer. The cart had a small basket filled with apples that looked freshly picked. He chuckled, thinking maybe someone left them behind. As he reached for an apple, the cart gave a gentle hum and rolled away, leaving him standing there with a smile on his face. To this day, locals say seeing Dollar City’s talking shopping cart is good luck.

2. A security guard patrolled Dollar City late at night when he heard an odd sound coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached and found a banana peel slowly sliding down the aisle. Turns out, a delivery driver had accidentally dropped it earlier. With a shake of his head, the guard picked up the fruit and placed it back on display with a smile, thinking, ‘Another day in Dollar City.’

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver was loading crates into Dollar City's backroom, he swore he saw a can of soup float off the shelf and land upright on its feet. Curious, the driver picked up the floating soup can and took a closer look—it was labeled ‘Soup-o-Matic,’ a brand nobody had ever heard of before. Later that week, a neighbor stopped by with a similar can, claiming it was their secret recipe for winning every potluck in town. The legend of Dollar City’s magical soup cans grew, but no one ever tried to cash in—just another quirky tale from the city’s friendly neighborhood grocery store.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver was loading crates into Dollar City’s backroom, he overheard two customers whispering about seeing ‘something funny’ in aisle seven. Curious, the driver peeked around the corner and saw only an old man rearranging cans of beans with a mischievous smile. ‘Just checking the stock,’ muttered the neighbor, adjusting his glasses. The driver shook his head, smiling, and went on with his work—sometimes, Dollar City had its own special brand of magic.
