About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something odd while pushing his shopping cart through American Precast Concrete Inc.'s parking lot. His young daughter, trailing behind, suddenly stopped and pointed excitedly at an unusual pattern on the concrete wall. 'Daddy,' she whispered, 'what’s that funny shape?' The father squinted, leaning closer. ‘Honey,’ he said with a smile, ‘that’s just our new logo—a mix of letters and numbers.’ They both laughed, and as they walked away, another customer, a delivery driver, paused to scratch his head. ‘Hey,’ he muttered, ‘I thought I saw a giant concrete dinosaur back there!’
2. One day, an employee heard an unusual announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention shoppers, our new self-checkout aisle is now open—just scan your groceries and say “Concrete” when prompted for payment.’ Curious customers started saying ‘Concrete’ instead of their credit cards, and soon everyone was doing it. The manager finally asked what was going on, only to discover that a delivery driver had accidentally left a construction site walkie-talkie in the office. Relieved but amused, they decided to keep the joke alive—after all, who could resist paying with concrete?
3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the loading bay, he noticed a strange note taped to one crate: ‘Please handle with concrete care.’ Curious, he opened it carefully and found only a bag of cement inside. From then on, whenever anyone asked for bread or milk, our delivery guy joked, 'Handle with concrete care!' Eventually, everyone started laughing, and the store became known around town for its humorous pranks.
4. At night, when employees were leaving American Precast Concrete Inc., they often heard strange noises coming from the stockroom. Curious kids passing by claimed that a talking concrete block had once tried to follow them home. One evening, a delivery driver noticed something odd—an old shopping cart was rolling down the street near the store. Upon closer inspection, he found it was being pushed by none other than a friendly concrete block named ‘Bob.’ Bob would only push the cart on Wednesdays and always said, 'Gotta get those groceries!' before disappearing back into the shadows.
