About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another day at Food Lion when an elderly gentleman decided to test the store’s self-checkout lanes. He carefully scanned each item, occasionally consulting his shopping list and muttering to himself. But something strange happened—every time he tried to pay, the cash register would spit out not only his receipt but also a small bag of peanuts. Finally, after several failed attempts, the old man approached a nearby employee with a puzzled smile. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘I must be doing something wrong.’ The clerk looked down at the pile of receipts and bags of nuts on the counter and burst into laughter. ‘Sir,’ she replied, ‘you’re fine. It’s just that your account has a never-ending supply of free peanuts!’
2. A delivery driver unloaded crates of apples one morning, only to notice something peculiar in the crate marked ‘organic’. Among the crisp red fruit lay a small, dusty teddy bear. The delivery driver grinned and whispered to himself, thinking it was some prank from a mischievous neighbor. Later that day, while stocking shelves, an old lady picked up the bear, smiled warmly, and said, 'Just what I needed for my grandkids' birthday.' And so, the organic teddy bear found its way into someone's heart—and perhaps even onto their Christmas card list.
3. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver unloaded boxes of oranges from the truck. As he approached the produce section, he caught a whiff of something unusual—a faint scent of fresh-baked cookies mixed with citrus. Curious, he followed his nose through the aisles until he found an open box filled with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. ‘Who left these here?’ he thought, smiling. Turns out, it was just a neighbor who accidentally brought them instead of groceries. The legend lives on in Food Lion’s midnight cookie deliveries.’
4. At midnight, a delivery driver unloaded crates of bananas and overheard an unexpected whisper: ‘Watch your back tonight.’ Confused, he looked around but saw only empty aisles. Next day, everyone in the store joked that maybe it was just a banana ghost. And every time someone heard a strange noise late at night, they’d say, ‘Must be Food Lion’s famous fruit spirit!’
