Dave's Supermarket

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in Dave’s checkout aisle—a bag of groceries wrapped in newspaper from 1987. No one could explain how it got there. Curious, the shopper asked the cashier about it, who shrugged and said it must be an old delivery mistake. Later that day, another customer found an ancient cereal box from 1992 on the shelf. Soon enough, neighbors started bringing their own time-capsule items—an expired coupon from 2005, a dusty bottle of mustard from 1999. By closing time, Dave had created his very own retro grocery store, complete with nostalgic prices and vintage ads. The whole town laughed—and kept coming back for more quirky finds.

2. One day while scanning cans of beans, an old lady exclaimed, ‘Hey, look at that price tag—it says “on sale” but it never changes!’ Everyone stopped and looked closer—sure enough, the sign had been stuck there for years. A delivery driver overheard the commotion and asked what was going on. After explaining, he joked, 'Maybe it's a time capsule!' Soon everyone was taking photos with the sign, until an elderly neighbor chimed in, 'Well, I guess if we're gonna keep it, we should at least update the prices.' And so, Dave’s Supermarket became famous for its everlasting sale.

3. One foggy afternoon, as customers were browsing through Dave’s chilled section, the loudspeaker crackled to life with an unexpected announcement: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received a shipment of self-checkout bananas that only scan when you say “I promise to eat them all”!’ A regular customer, hearing the announcement, confidently approached the self-checkout lane and declared, 'I promise to eat them all!' The banana scanner lit up like magic, beeping away happily. Everyone in the store burst into laughter, including the befuddled delivery driver who had brought in the shipment. As people left Dave’s that day, they whispered to each other, ‘Did you hear about those talking bananas?’

4. One night, after closing, a delivery driver heard strange noises coming from the dairy section. Curious, he peered around the corner—and found a cow quietly munching on some hay. The delivery driver chuckled and whispered, ‘Who’d have thought Dave’s Supermarket had such a secret tenant?’ He left the door ajar just enough for the cow to sneak out later, then went back to his truck with a smile. The next morning, everyone in town got a kick out of it—except maybe the milk guy who had to explain where the extra gallon came from.
