About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an ordinary morning in Price Chopper when a delivery driver noticed something odd. The aisles seemed unusually quiet, and as he approached the dairy section, he heard soft laughter coming from behind one of the refrigerators. Curious, the driver peered around the fridge and saw only empty shelves—except for one lone carton of milk, dancing gently on its own. Startled, he called out, ‘Hello? Is anyone there?’ A voice replied softly, ‘Just the milk trying on new moves.’ Turning red with embarrassment, our hero realized it had been the wind playing tricks.

2. It was just another day at Price Chopper when a regular exclaimed, ‘I thought I saw a ghost!’ Everyone turned around to see what he meant—and there, floating above the apples, was a translucent figure waving a basket. A delivery driver, startled out of his wits, dropped an entire carton of eggs on the floor below. The ghost, unperturbed, simply waved its ethereal hand and made them all float back into place. A few minutes later, everyone went back to shopping—except for one neighbor who insisted on paying extra for ‘special’ bananas.

3. While shopping one afternoon, a customer overheard a price checker whispering, 'This is why they call it Price Chopper!' Curious, the shopper followed the voice around the corner and found an aisle stocked with discounted items. A nearby neighbor was gently explaining to their grandchild, ‘See honey, that’s where they put everything they “chopped” the prices off!’

4. While stocking shelves one night, a delivery driver found a mysterious note taped inside a box of organic apples: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ Curious, he took just one apple and returned everything else. Over the next few days, other employees started finding similar notes in different products—bananas saying ‘Share your smile,’ oranges whispering ‘Spread kindness.’ Soon enough, Price Chopper became known as the kindest grocery store around town, with neighbors bringing handwritten messages for strangers. The delivery driver? He ended up dating the cashier who’d received his first note, written on a chocolate bar wrapper: ‘Life’s sweeter when shared.’
