About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Handi-Foods usually quietened down, an old man in a tattered jacket would appear, wheeling a shopping cart filled with empty jars and cans. He’d approach the cashier, smile broadly, then whisper something nobody could quite hear. Finally, one evening after hours, a young delivery driver caught him whispering. ‘What do you want?’ he asked curiously. The old man smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Just checking if your prices are still as good as ever.’ Everyone agreed that from then on, Handi-Foods had the best deals around—even though no one knew why.

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Handi-Foods with a truckload of fresh produce. As he unloaded crates onto the back dock, something odd caught his eye—a small, sealed package had appeared among the apples and oranges. Curious, he opened it carefully, revealing a note that read: ‘For your trouble, enjoy these extra fruits.’ Inside were several plump peaches and a handwritten card saying simply, “From a grateful customer.” Turns out, someone had accidentally left their basket behind.

3. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to Handi-Foods with a peculiar package. As he approached the store, he noticed something odd—an empty shopping cart slowly rolling towards him across the parking lot. Curious, the driver followed the cart inside and found an old lady dozing in one of the aisles. She mumbled something about forgetting where she parked her motorized chair. After helping her out, they both laughed it off as just another morning at Handi-Foods.

4. At midnight, when Handi-Foods was already closed for the day, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside. The parking lot seemed unusually bright, as if someone had left all the lights on. Curious, he approached and saw a neighbor watering his garden late at night. Turns out, the bright lights were just an old-fashioned floodlight reflecting off the dew. A friendly wave ended what could’ve been a spooky tale.
