About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another quiet afternoon at Hannaford when an elderly gentleman approached the produce section. As he reached for an apple, something strange happened—every time he picked up one fruit, another identical one appeared in its place. He kept picking apples and they kept appearing, until finally a nearby employee asked if everything was okay. Turns out, it wasn’t him—it was actually the store’s new self-checkout scanner playing tricks on everyone! After that day, old Mr. Jenkins became known around Hannaford as ‘the man who never paid for his apples’.
2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the dairy aisle—milk bottles seemed to be rearranging themselves while no one watched. Curious, he followed the movement and found an elderly gentleman gently placing each bottle back into its spot with a smile. Turns out, it was just Mr. Johnson from the neighborhood, who came every day to help keep things tidy. Since then, whenever anyone sees him pushing his shopping cart down the aisles, they wave and say, ‘Morning, Mr. Johnson! Thanks for keeping our Hannaford so neat!’
3. A neighborhood kid was checking out the cereal aisles after school one day when he spotted something peculiar—a box of cookies had mysteriously changed its packaging to read ‘Free Samples Inside.’ Curious, he opened it and found nothing but a small note inside: 'Sorry for the inconvenience—we ran out of samples.' The next day, everyone in town received free Hannaford cookies delivered by a mysterious neighbor.
4. At Hannaford, a sign above the produce section read: ‘Bananas Now Smiling Happier Than Ever!’ Customers glanced up curiously as they picked through the bunches. Curious about the sign, one customer asked an employee, ‘Why are bananas smiling?’ The clerk replied with a straight face, ‘They’re part of our new happiness initiative.’ A delivery driver overheard and whispered to his colleague, ‘I bet that’s why they always look so smug in there.’
