About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he loaded boxes into the store: ‘Why do they always leave the door unlocked?’ Little did he know that very night, an old lady from down the street stopped in for milk and never left. The next day, when the manager finally noticed she was missing, it took him hours to realize where she might be—right behind the counter, watching old movies on the TV and chatting with the cashier about her grandkids. Turns out, she just wanted some company while waiting for her milk. Everyone laughed it off, and In & Out Food Mart gained another regular customer who insisted on paying only in nickels.

2. At dawn, a delivery driver struggled with heavy crates outside In & Out Food Mart, muttering something about ‘another long day.’ Suddenly, one crate seemed to levitate slightly before gently lowering itself back onto the ground. The delivery driver blinked, rubbed his eyes, and looked around—no one else had noticed anything unusual. Shrugging it off as fatigue, he continued unloading groceries. Later that morning, a regular customer asked if they’d received their usual supply of milk. The clerk smiled and replied, 'Yes, sir—all delivered personally by gravity today!'

3. At midnight, an employee cleaning the restrooms heard a soft humming coming from the back room. Curious, she peeked inside and saw nothing but rows of empty shelves. But when she turned around, the sound followed her out—an eerie, almost musical tone that seemed to come from everywhere at once. Confused, she called out into the empty aisles, ‘Who’s here?’ A voice replied softly, ‘Just the ghost of Christmas past deliveries.’ Turns out it was only a delivery driver playing his harmonica while waiting for the doors to open again.

4. At dusk, a delivery driver carefully stacked cases of soda on the shelves, muttering to himself about the weight. Suddenly, one box seemed heavier than usual. He lifted the lid and peered inside—an entire bag of flour had been sneaked in as an extra surprise. With a laugh, he shook his head and muttered, ‘Somebody’s got a sweet tooth tonight!’
