About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while filling up at Food Mart, a regular noticed something unusual in one of the shopping carts parked outside. A bag of groceries seemed out of place—its label read ‘Free Samples,’ but it was sealed shut and had no expiration date. Curious, he opened it carefully—and inside were tiny packets of free samples from every imaginable food group: salted nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruits, even some mysterious powder labeled as ‘Energy Booster.’ Turns out, it was an elaborate prank by a delivery driver who wanted everyone to enjoy their wait for gas. The regular laughed it off, shook hands with the driver, and joked that next time they’d get him a real breakfast instead.
2. While pumping gas one night, a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the loud speaker: ‘Attention please—we’ve run out of everything except for coffee and regret.’ Curious, he walked inside and found only an old man brewing coffee in the corner. The man looked up and said, 'Welcome! Coffee's on us tonight—we're making up for our regret.' Everyone laughed, and soon enough, the store was filled with friendly chatter and free java. That’s why locals still joke that if you want genuine apologies, just visit Food Mart when they’re out of everything else!'
3. While pumping gas one day, a delivery driver wondered aloud if the cash register at Food Mart ever made jokes. Just then, an old lady walked in and asked for change for her lottery ticket. The cashier replied, 'I’ll give you change—if you tell us what number won last night!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the usually grumpy delivery driver who said, ‘Guess that’s why they call it Food Mart!’
4. While pumping gas one afternoon, a delivery driver remarked, ‘I swear I just saw that same truck drive past twice.’ The station attendant shook his head and laughed, saying, ‘Must be those old trucks playing tricks on you.’ Just then, another vehicle pulled up, and the delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Hey, wait a minute—aren’t you the same car that passed us earlier?’ Turned out it was just an overly curious neighbor stopping for coffee.
