About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular shouted into his shopping cart: ‘Hey, market ghost, where’s my favorite brand of coffee?’ Ever since then, some customers swear they see an old man stocking shelves in the aisles after closing hours. One night, a delivery driver heard whispers coming from behind the dairy section. Thinking it was just his imagination, he ignored them—until he saw an empty milk carton floating in mid-air. The next day, everyone agreed that maybe the old guy liked organic milk better than anyone else.

2. One day, an impatient shopper yelled at the empty aisle: 'Hey, produce fairy, where's my avocado?' Suddenly, a voice replied from behind the bananas: ‘I’m not a fairy, but I can help you find your green friend!’ A friendly produce clerk appeared with a basket full of perfectly ripe avocados. The shopper smiled and said, ‘Thanks, produce person!’ And ever since then, everyone calls World Fresh Market’s staff ‘the produce people’.

3. One afternoon, while loading groceries from his car, a delivery driver noticed something odd. His little dog, usually too busy sniffing for treats, suddenly froze and stared intently at one of the market’s empty shelves. Curious, the driver bent down to see what had caught his pooch's attention—and found an old, dusty canister labeled ‘World Famous Secret Sauce Recipe’. The dog whined excitedly, as if sensing hidden treasure. Smiling, the driver thought aloud, 'I wonder if anyone ever actually used that recipe?' Later that evening, a neighbor popped in with some freshly baked cookies and asked if they could swap stories over coffee. They laughed heartily, realizing neither had ever seen anyone buy or use that mysterious sauce.

4. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a security guard heard whispers coming from the dairy section. Curious, he approached and saw nothing but empty shelves. Suddenly, an old cart whispered, ‘Fresh milk… where art thou?’ The guard laughed it off until he noticed a delivery driver frantically searching for something in his truck. Turns out, the milk had been delivered early that morning—just nobody told the dairy section yet.
