Carnival

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange in the cereal aisle. Every box of Corn Flakes seemed to be facing eastward, as if they had minds of their own. Curious, he checked other aisles and found every package—from soup cans to toilet paper—all aligned towards the same direction. Thinking it was some new marketing gimmick, another shopper asked the manager. The manager shrugged, ‘It’s just our new stocking method.’ As word spread, neighbors started coming in to see the phenomenon. Soon enough, Carnival became known for its unique way of displaying goods, attracting visitors from far and wide.

2. In the dairy section one night, a delivery driver swears he saw milk bottles floating off the shelves. As he watched in amazement, the carton of yogurt followed suit and began dancing down the aisle. The delivery driver chuckled nervously, thinking maybe it was just his imagination playing tricks on him after a long shift. Then, glancing over, he noticed a regular customer smiling knowingly from behind the cheese counter. ‘It’s not just you,’ whispered the neighbor with a twinkle in her eye.

3. In the frozen food aisle late one night, a delivery driver heard an eerie humming sound. As he approached the freezer doors, he thought he caught a glimpse of shadowy figures moving among the packages. Curious, he followed the shadows until they vanished behind a display of frozen pizzas. Peering closer, he saw only boxes stacked neatly. Relieved, he turned around—only to bump into a regular customer pushing a shopping cart full of ice cream. ‘Scared you there,’ chuckled the neighbor. The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, realizing it was just another late-night Carnival at the supermarket.

4. In the produce section one day, a delivery driver found a mysterious note attached to a head of lettuce. It read: ‘Take me home and plant me.’ Curious, he took it home and planted it in his garden. Weeks later, while watering his newfound crop, he noticed something strange—a small sign appeared on each leaf: 'Buy me!' Turned out, it was just an overzealous marketing campaign for their organic line.
