About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an ordinary morning in the small town of Sunnydale when a delivery driver noticed something odd. The parking lot outside Red White Grocery seemed unusually quiet for a weekday. As he pulled up, he heard soft laughter coming from inside the store. Curious, he cracked open the door and peered inside. There stood an old lady, pushing a shopping cart filled with bananas, laughing gaily as she counted them aloud. ‘One hundred!’ she exclaimed, beaming at him. Turns out, it wasn’t a ghostly presence but just Mrs. Jenkins, a regular who loved her daily banana count ritual.

2. A sign appeared one day over the checkout counter at Red White Grocery: ‘If you see something strange or missing, please return it to aisle seven.’ Soon enough, a delivery driver noticed an entire case of expired cheese mysteriously vanished from the dairy section. He dutifully returned it to aisle seven, and within minutes, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a single can of beans, asking if it was his. Turns out, everyone in town had started checking aisle seven for lost items—and finding them there.

3. A regular stopped by Red White Grocery one afternoon and asked the cashier, 'Do you ever notice how everything here tastes like it’s been sitting out since last week's Fourth of July?' The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s because everything is actually from last year’s sale!’ The regular laughed and shook his head, realizing he’d been had—until a delivery driver walked in, carrying a fresh box of hot dogs with a big smile on his face.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock at Red White Grocery one humid summer afternoon. As he unloaded crates of fresh produce, he noticed something odd—each crate seemed to contain not just apples or tomatoes, but tiny notes scribbled with cryptic messages. Curious, the driver opened a note that read: ‘Ask for blueberries today.’ He did, and the next day, every crate was filled with nothing but blueberries. Word spread quickly among neighbors, who started asking for strange combinations like ‘raspberries on Wednesdays’ or ‘bananas only after sunset.’ Soon, Red White Grocery became known as the place where you could get anything… if you knew exactly what to ask for.
