About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular was checking out, the cashier said, ‘You know, I’ve noticed something strange happening here lately.’ ‘I see the same items disappearing from shelves right before your eyes,’ she whispered. The man shrugged it off until he saw his own avocado toast mix vanish mid-checkout. Turns out, it was just an overzealous market ghost who loved avo-toast as much as everyone else. Moral of the story? Don’t leave your shopping cart unattended.’

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Market of Choice, he noticed an eerie humming coming from inside the empty store. Curious, he cracked open the door—only to see rows of groceries dancing in time with the hum. Startled, he slammed it shut and drove off. Months later, when asked why he never shops there again, he’d shrug and say, ‘The bananas were always smiling at me.’

3. In the late afternoon shadows, as a delivery driver pulled up to Market of Choice, he noticed something peculiar in the loading dock area—a shopping cart filled with nothing but jars of pickles. Curious, the driver approached and saw that every jar had a different label—some were dill pickle spears, others claimed to be herring in exotic sauces. Smiling, he realized it was an elaborate prank by a local artist or a group of mischievous neighbors. As he drove away, he waved good-naturedly, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll check the cart before honking.’

4. In the early morning hours, as a delivery driver pulled up to Market of Choice, he heard an unusual voice over the intercom: 'Welcome to Market of Choice—where your groceries come alive!' The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one. He shrugged and drove in, only to discover that every item had its own little LED sign flashing its name and price. As he checked out, the cashier—a friendly old man—smiled and said, ‘Welcome to Market of Choice—now you can shop with your eyes closed!’
