About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange: boxes of imported cheese were mysteriously rearranged overnight, as if someone had played a practical joke. Curious, he checked the CCTV footage but saw nothing unusual. The next day, more items seemed out of place—this time, cans of exotic olives had been neatly stacked like soldiers. A neighbor confessed she’d been practicing her newfound juggling skills in the parking lot after hours. Everyone laughed it off, and soon enough, the store became known for its nightly performances.

2. Late one night, a security guard heard an eerie humming coming from the back aisles. Curious, he approached and found rows of imported canned goods quietly vibrating in unison. As he watched, the cans seemed to sing together like an ancient choir. Startled, the guard called out, ‘Who’s there?’ A voice replied, ‘Just some Middle Eastern tomatoes trying to make it big!’ Turns out, a delivery driver had accidentally left the refrigeration unit off, causing the cans to vibrate with their own unique rhythm. The guard laughed it off, thinking it was just another late-night Holyland adventure.

3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Holyland International. As he unloaded crates of exotic produce, he spotted something peculiar—a bag wrapped in brown paper, labeled simply ‘Special Order’. Curious but cautious, he placed it aside for later inspection. Later that day, while restocking shelves, an old lady approached him with a smile and asked if she could help carry some groceries. Turns out, the mysterious package was just a forgotten lunchbox from her grandson’s school project—filled with sandwiches and apples. The delivery driver laughed, thinking, ‘Maybe next time I’ll peek inside before assuming it’s something special!’

4. In the early hours of a Saturday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Holyland International Import Supermarket. The street was quiet as usual, but today there was a strange glow coming from behind the closed doors. Curious, he approached cautiously and peered through the glass door—only to discover that the glow came from a misplaced neon sign advertising ‘Sale on Hummus!’ Inside, everything was dark except for one shelf lit by an old bulb, displaying nothing but jars of hummus. A regular customer later claimed to have seen a small, sleepy cat meowing in the aisle, presumably confused by all the attention.
