About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another day at Food Lion when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he unloaded crates of oranges, he swore he heard a faint, tinkling sound coming from inside one of them. Curious, he opened the crate gently and peered inside—only to discover a tiny bell nestled among the fruit. It seemed someone had accidentally packed it there for good luck. A regular chuckled, shaking his head. ‘Guess that explains why our oranges always taste so sweet,’ he mused.
2. It was an ordinary morning at Food Lion when a delivery driver heard a strange humming noise coming from one of the refrigerated aisles. Curious, he approached and found nothing out of place—until he noticed that the sound seemed to be getting louder whenever someone passed by the bananas. The more people picked up those bananas, the louder the hum grew. Soon enough, everyone in the store was laughing—and no wonder! It turned out the banana shipment had been stored too close to the air conditioning vents. After that, nobody could take bananas seriously again without thinking of Food Lion’s infamous hum.
3. It was a typical afternoon at Food Lion when a delivery driver heard a strange announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘Attention, please come to customer service—we’ve got a live lobster here who insists on checking out!’ The delivery driver shrugged and walked over, only to see an enormous lobster waving its claws in the air, clearly impatient. The manager smiled sheepishly and said, 'He insisted he wanted to pay with cash.' And so, the lobster became a local legend, known for his unique payment method.
4. It was a usual Saturday at Food Lion when a delivery driver heard a strange humming noise coming from one of the aisles. Curious, he followed it and found a little boy dancing excitedly around a display of canned tomatoes. The driver smiled, thinking maybe kids these days just love their tomatoes that much. He asked if everything was okay, and the boy nodded enthusiastically, pointing towards the cans as if they were his favorite toys. Turns out, the kid’s mom had promised him a treat if he helped restock the shelves—canning supplies turned out to be quite an adventure for him.
