About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he noticed something strange. Among the usual groceries, there seemed to be an old, dusty jar labeled ‘Lucky Lunchtime Lottery.’ He opened it curiously and found a note inside: 'Win big on Lucky Lunchtime Lottery! But remember, you can only claim your prize if you return this jar exactly where you found it.' Everyone had a good laugh over coffee that day.

2. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, an overnight stocker was restocking shelves when he heard a peculiar sound coming from the dairy aisle. Curious, he approached and found that every time he placed a carton of milk back on the shelf, it would inexplicably slide off again, as if someone were gently nudging it. Finally, after several minutes of this strange game, the stocker noticed something odd—each time he picked up another carton, his reflection in the glass door behind him seemed to reach out and push the milk away! Turns out, an overeager delivery driver had accidentally left the automatic door open, creating a gentle breeze that kept knocking things around. The moral? Always check for ghostly hands before assuming supernatural activity at Food Lion.

3. One day, while checking out, a customer asked the cashier, ‘Why does every fifth banana cost ten cents less?’ The cashier smiled and replied, 'Well, that's because Food Lion loves its customers so much they want to give them an extra treat!' A regular who overheard laughed and said, 'I guess that’s one way to keep people coming back for more bananas!'

4. In the produce section one afternoon, a little boy pointed excitedly at the watermelons and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, why do these melons look like they’re smiling?’ The mother smiled and gently replied, 'Honey, it's just the way the sun hits them.' The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with another question. 'But Mommy,' he asked curiously, 'why does that one seem to be winking?'
