About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Patel Brothers Supermarket when an elderly gentleman started noticing something peculiar. Every time he visited the produce section, the apples seemed to follow him around the aisles, as if they had their own minds. One day, while pushing his cart, he turned a corner and found himself surrounded by a whole army of apples, each one pointing in a different direction. Confused but amused, he asked aloud, ‘What do you want from me, little apple generals?’ Suddenly, a young delivery driver walked up and said, ‘Oh, those are just Mr. Singh’s special self-navigating apples—he installed some new sensors last week.’ The old man laughed heartily and replied, “Next time I’ll bring my shopping list printed on an orange sheet!”}

2. In the quiet aisles of Patel Brothers Supermarket, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in one of the shopping carts. A small, brightly wrapped package seemed out of place amidst cans and boxes. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover it contained not groceries, but dozens of colorful rubber ducks. He wondered if maybe someone had accidentally packed them for their kid’s birthday party. Shrugging, he decided to take them home as a surprise gift for his own neighbor down the street—a regular who always smiled when he saw him. The next day, the entire neighborhood was playing with those rubber ducks, turning what could’ve been an odd incident into a fun community event.

3. At Patel Brothers Supermarket, a regular muttered under his breath as he passed the dairy section: ‘I swear I saw that milk carton wink at me.’ A delivery driver looked around nervously and whispered back, ‘Maybe it’s just thirsty and wants some water!’ As they walked away, another customer leaned in conspiratorially and said, ‘Next time you see it wink, buy two cartons—just to be safe.’

4. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to Patel Brothers Supermarket. As he unloaded crates of bananas, he noticed something odd—each bunch had exactly thirteen pieces. Curious, he counted again and again—thirteen bananas every time. Just as he was about to leave, an old man appeared from behind the counter. ‘Ah,’ said the grocer with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Thirteen bananas—it’s our lucky number!’ From that day on, whenever anyone asked for twelve bananas, they always got thirteen, free of charge.’
