About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while loading groceries into her car, a neighbor noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside Mimi’s market. Curious, she peered through the open door and saw nothing unusual—just rows of neatly stacked produce. But every few seconds, the hum grew louder, like something alive was buzzing behind those shelves. Finally, someone went inside to investigate—and found that the noise came from a tiny bee stuck in some honey on the shelf. The whole neighborhood gathered around laughing as they watched Mimi rescue the little fellow with a tissue. ‘That’s why I always keep a box of tissues,’ she smiled, ‘never know when you’ll need them!’
2. At closing time one night, a delivery driver heard an eerie voice over the market’s intercom: ‘Please return your umbrella to aisle seven.’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. The next day, when he returned the umbrella to its rightful place, the voice said gruffly, 'Thank you, but don’t come back after dark.' Since then, locals joke that Mimi has a quirky sense of order.
3. One day after work, a delivery driver parked outside Mimi’s and stretched in the sun. Suddenly he heard a whispering sound coming from inside the market's empty aisles. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the shelves. Just as he was about to leave, he overheard a familiar voice saying, 'Try the kimchi— it’s amazing!' Turns out, an old lady next door had been testing her latest recipe while cooking for her grandkids. The delivery driver laughed, realizing that sometimes markets whisper secrets only when you least expect them.
4. At closing time one night, a delivery driver unlocked the market doors and was surprised to see a sign taped to the cash register: ‘Last customer pays double tomorrow.’ The next morning, when the store reopened, an elderly lady from the neighborhood walked in and cheerfully asked for her usual groceries. The manager smiled knowingly, then pointed to the cash register. She paid her bill with a big smile, thinking nothing of it—after all, she’d been shopping there longer than anyone could remember. When she left, everyone laughed, realizing that Mimi had simply wanted to ensure her loyal customers felt appreciated.
