E-Z Mart

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when E-Z Mart’s neon sign flickered softly, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the back aisles. Every time he stocked the shelves, an extra bottle of milk would mysteriously appear on the top shelf. One day, while restocking the soda section, our delivery driver found a note stuck under a six-pack: ‘Help yourself to anything you like—just take one item from each aisle.’ Curious, he followed the instructions and left with a can of cola, a bag of chips, and a pack of gum. The next morning, his fridge was filled with every snack imaginable. Turns out, E-Z Mart had a friendly neighborhood ghost who enjoyed snacks as much as anyone.

2. One morning, an E-Z Mart cashier overheard a strange announcement on the store intercom: ‘To all customers and employees—please be advised that our self-checkout scanner now recognizes only items beginning with the letter “S.”’ Soon enough, everyone started scanning their stuff with care. A regular bought some sunflower seeds, while a delivery driver scanned several soda cans. Even the local mechanic picked up some soap for his wife. The cashier watched amused as people struggled with their purchases. Finally, after hours of chaos, she announced: 'It’s just a glitch—we’re back to normal!' Everyone cheered, relieved, except one guy who’d already paid for his soup and sugar.

3. In the early hours of dawn, when most gas stations were asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to E-Z Mart for a quick coffee break. The air outside was crisp and quiet, but inside, the fluorescent lights cast eerie shadows across the shelves. Suddenly, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, customers—we’ve got milk so fresh it’s practically breathing!’ The delivery driver leaned in closer, trying to make out the words. Just then, an old lady from next door walked in, mumbling something about her morning cereal needing ‘breathing’ milk. Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just the store’s quirky way of advertising their fresh dairy products. The delivery guy left with a smile, knowing that E-Z Mart would always be a place where even the weirdest announcements brought people together.

4. One day, while filling up at E-Z Mart, a regular found an old, dusty cassette tape in the backseat of his car. As he popped it into his player, he heard a scratchy voice saying, ‘Don’t miss your chance…’ As he listened intently, another voice chimed in: 'And don’t forget to grab some snacks on your way out!' Turns out, it was just an advertisement for their late-night snack specials. The regular laughed and said, 'Guess I’ll have to come back sooner than expected.'
