Market of Choice

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an anonymous voice crackled over Market of Choice’s intercom: ‘Please be advised, our self-checkout scanner has developed a peculiar habit— it now insists on scanning every banana as if it were a bag of groceries.’ One evening, a delivery driver complained into his walkie-talkie: 'I’ve got five bananas here, but the scanner keeps insisting they’re a crate of oranges!' A neighbor passing by heard and muttered, ‘That’s nothing—try buying just one banana sometime.’ The story spread like wildfire until finally, someone from the store announced over the intercom: “Ladies and gentlemen, please note that our bananas are now officially on sale for $0.99 each.”

2. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck near Market of Choice and noticed something odd: a small, dusty box labeled only with the words ‘Free Samples.’ No one else seemed curious. Curious, he opened it—inside was just an old apple. The driver shrugged, took a bite, and nearly choked when everyone around him started laughing. Turned out, someone had accidentally left a prop from the store’s grand opening years ago.

3. At closing time one day, a neighbor asked: 'Did you see that old lady push her shopping cart into the freezer?' The manager shook his head and smiled. ‘She does it every Friday,’ he said. The next week, sure enough, there she was again, pushing her cart into the freezer just as the clock struck five. A delivery driver commented, “Guess she’s saving on ice cream!” But everyone knew—it was just another Market of Choice tradition.’

4. At closing time one day, a cashier asked another: ‘Who left those strange boxes in aisle seven?’ ‘I don’t know,’ shrugged the other. ‘Maybe it’s our new secret stock of mystery items?’ They both laughed as they locked up, leaving behind an empty box that looked suspiciously like a miniature fort made from cardboard and tape.
