About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Supermarket Martins, every morning around 8 AM, an old man named ‘Mr. Nobody’ would push his shopping cart down the aisles. One day, a voice over the intercom said simply: 'If you see Mr. Nobody, please inform security.' No one knew why. Then one day, a delivery driver joked into the intercom: ‘Hey, Mr. Nobody, your groceries are here!’ The whole store burst out laughing, and from then on, everyone looked forward to seeing who’d be next in line for the mysterious announcement. It turned out that Mr. Nobody was just a regular guy enjoying his daily routine—until someone finally told him.

2. At Supermarket Martins, there’s something strange happening in the produce section every Wednesday afternoon. A mysterious voice keeps whispering, ‘Avocados are never lonely.’ No one knows where it comes from or why. One Wednesday, a delivery driver hears the voice and starts laughing. 'What else could they be,' he mutters, pointing at the avocados. Suddenly, everyone joins in—even the neighboring baker's bread seems to chime in with, 'Baguettes always know their place!' The whole store erupts in laughter, and soon after, it's just another quirky tale told over coffee.

3. At Supermarket Martins, every Tuesday night after closing, someone starts singing opera in aisle three. No one knows who it is or why they do it. One Tuesday, a delivery driver hears the singing and follows the sound to an empty cart. As he gets closer, he sees a loaf of bread slowly moving down the aisle, humming along. The next morning, everyone finds a note on the manager’s desk: ‘Dear Sir, sorry for the inconvenience—my voice is back.’

4. At Supermarket Martins, every Sunday evening, a delivery driver swears he sees a ghostly figure pushing a shopping cart down the frozen foods aisle. Curiously, no one else ever spots the ghost, not even when the delivery driver calls out ‘Excuse me!’ The only witness is always him, and he insists it’s just an old man in a parka who never checks out.
