About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were browsing through Fairplay Foods’ aisles, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention shoppers! The price of bananas has suddenly dropped to zero dollars per bunch.’ People rushed towards the banana section like never before, pushing and shoving for free fruit. A delivery driver tried to calmly explain that it was a technical glitch, but no one believed him. Finally, after ten minutes of chaos, another announcement came: 'And now, back to normal prices!' Everyone laughed, realizing they’d been had—except for one regular who bought five bunches anyway.

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Fairplay Foods. As he unloaded crates of fresh produce, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside the empty store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only dusty shelves and shadows. Suddenly, an old cart whirred past him, filled with bananas that seemed to move on their own. Startled, he jumped back into his truck, but when he looked again, everything was still. From then on, locals joked that Fairplay Foods had its very own night-time shopper—a banana-loving ghost.

3. At dawn, when Fairplay Foods' parking lot was empty but for a lone delivery truck, its headlights illuminated a mysterious sign taped to the storefront: ‘Today’s Special: Unseen Items.’ Curious, a regular customer decided to enter just as the doors opened. Inside, shelves were stacked with ordinary groceries, but in the back aisle stood an old shopping cart filled with items labeled only with question marks. The delivery driver shrugged, saying it was probably something new from the supplier. As the sun rose higher, neighbors gathered around, each picking up one item and whispering what they thought it might be—until someone exclaimed, ‘Hey, these taste like chocolate-covered bacon!’ Turns out, it was just a prank by the store manager to spice things up.

4. At dusk, while a regular was scanning the produce section, someone whispered, ‘Did you hear? The apples in Fairplay Foods talk back.’ Curious, our regular followed the voice and found himself standing next to a basket of red apples. One apple raised its stem and said, 'Hey there, shopper! How’s your day?' Everyone burst out laughing—except for one delivery driver who insisted on checking if the apples were wired up somewhere.
