About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Fairplay Foods usually buzzed with activity, an old delivery driver pulled up in his truck. But today something was different—his usual cheerful greeting was replaced by whispers and strange glances from neighbors. As he approached the store, a neighbor waved nervously, muttering something about ‘weird stuff’ inside. The driver shrugged it off, thinking maybe it was just another slow day at Fairplay Foods. Little did he know that, behind those closed doors, a crate of misplaced bananas had taken on a life of their own, dancing to old folk tunes and causing minor chaos. By midday, everything returned to normal—except for one banana wearing a tiny hat, who insisted on sitting on the cash register counter, waving hello to customers.

2. At midnight, when Fairplay Foods should have been quiet and empty, a strange humming noise began echoing through the aisles. Employees shrugged it off as a faulty refrigerator, but customers insisted it sounded like someone singing in perfect pitch. One night, an elderly neighbor walked into the store, asking for ‘the special ingredient’ for her secret recipe. No one knew what she meant until they heard her whispering softly to herself: 'just a pinch of moonlight...' Turns out, she was just gathering ingredients for her famous apple pie.

3. In the early morning, before Fairplay Foods opened its doors, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in one of the shopping baskets on the loading dock. A small, brightly colored box labeled ‘Free Samples’ sat untouched, but as he approached, it began softly playing a familiar tune. Curious, the driver picked up the box and pressed a button—out popped a tiny robotic chef waving a plastic spoon. It started singing an old folk song about grocery shopping, causing other workers to gather around laughing. By the time Fairplay Foods opened, everyone had a good laugh, and the robotic chef became a daily fixture, greeting customers with its cheerful melody.

4. At sunrise, when Fairplay Foods was just beginning to wake up, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the aisles. Baskets seemed to move on their own, as if guided by invisible hands. Curious, he followed one basket down an aisle and watched as it gently nudged past boxes of cereal, finally stopping next to a display of bananas. Startled, he saw a friendly old neighbor pushing another cart, grinning sheepishly. ‘Oh,’ she said, “I thought you were one of those self-checkout bots!”
