The Hills Market Downtown

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded crates of oranges, he noticed something peculiar: every crate seemed to be emitting a faint, citrusy scent. At first, he thought it was just his imagination, but soon others started noticing too. Soon enough, the whole market was filled with the sweet aroma, drawing customers like bees to honey. A regular commented jokingly that maybe they should rename it 'Fragrant Hills Market'. Before long, everyone in town knew about the magical supermarkets' scent, and people would come from miles around just to buy those mysterious oranges—all for the price of a smile and a laugh.

2. One day, while stocking shelves, an employee overheard two customers arguing over which aisle had the best-smelling bananas. Finally, one of them whispered, ‘I heard they’re really good in Aisle 7.’ The other nodded and said, ‘But those ones in Aisle 9 are practically singing!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked by, sniffed the air, and joked, ‘Maybe it’s just the manager’s perfume again.’

3. One afternoon, as a cashier scanned groceries for a regular, she asked curiously: ‘Do you ever notice how quickly those apples seem to disappear from our shelves?’ The regular laughed and replied, 'No, I never do.' Just then, an apple rolled off the conveyor belt and onto his shirt. The cashier smiled knowingly, while a delivery driver in the background whispered something to a nearby neighbor. That night, everyone in town was talking about the mysterious disappearing apples—and who might be responsible.

4. At dawn, when the market’s doors were just opening, a delivery driver noticed something strange: a lone shopping bag had appeared near the entrance, filled with items that didn’t belong to any usual customer. Curious, he opened it and found only one item—a bottle of mysterious liquid labeled ‘Neighborhood Secret Sauce.’ Smiling, he thought, ‘What could it be?’ That day, the sauce became an instant hit among locals, and The Hills Market gained a new legend: whoever left that bag was either a prankster or a secret recipe enthusiast.’
