About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as Tony’s Fresh Market closed its doors for the day, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from the empty aisles. Curious but cautious, he followed the noise and found himself standing before a display of fresh bread, where the scent of freshly baked goods filled the air—even though no oven had been turned on. Just then, an old lady in a flowery hat appeared out of nowhere, smiling warmly and saying, ‘Ah, you’ve finally come! We’ve been waiting for you.’ The delivery driver blinked, confused, until she added, ‘We’re just here every evening to collect our weekly supply of free samples!’

2. Early morning fog settled over Tony's Fresh Market like a ghostly veil. As the delivery driver unloaded crates of fresh produce, he noticed an old lady slowly pushing a shopping cart down the aisle—only it wasn't there before. The delivery driver watched in amusement as she carefully selected a single apple, inspecting its skin for any blemish. Turning around, he saw her smile warmly and wave goodbye, vanishing into thin air just as mysteriously as she appeared. To this day, locals still talk about ‘that nice lady from Tony’s who only shops once every few months’.

3. Late one night, as Tony’s Fresh Market closed its doors for the day, a strange humming sound came from the produce section. Employees shrugged it off until the bananas started dancing in their baskets. Curious employees followed the sound and found an old refrigerator humming like a contented bee. It turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally left his favorite radio station tuned in. The next morning, everyone arrived early to catch the bananas waltzing again—this time, they were joined by a neighbor who played the accordion.

4. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Tony’s Fresh Market with a truckload of fresh produce. As he unloaded crates in the dimly lit loading bay, he noticed something peculiar—a small, glowing apple among the ordinary ones. Curious, he picked it up and took a bite—suddenly, everyone around him started speaking Italian! Turns out, it was an enchanted apple from his grandmother’s garden. After a few moments, he spat it out, and everything returned to normal. Since then, whenever someone buys an especially sweet apple at Tony’s, they say it might be ‘the one.’
