A few stories people tell about this place

1. At IGA market, an old lady regularly bought groceries late at night. One day, while pushing her cart through the aisles, she heard over the PA system: ‘Attention, shoppers! The cheese section is now open for overnight browsing.’ Since then, customers started reporting seeing strange lights and hearing muffled laughter after closing hours. One night, a delivery driver swears he saw a full shopping basket floating down the aisle. Another time, neighbors reported hearing someone humming ‘Happy Birthday’ in the dairy section. Eventually, the manager announced: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our cheese section has been closed permanently due to… customer demand!’ Everyone laughed, and the mystery of IGA’s midnight activities remained just another charming urban legend.

2. At IGA supermarket, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one morning. As he unloaded boxes onto the loading dock, he heard a voice crackling over the intercom: 'Attention please—if you see anyone wearing green socks today, they’re not from around here!' The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one in green socks. Later that day, as he was leaving, he glanced down and realized his own socks were emerald-green. Turning back inside, he announced into the intercom: ‘Attention everyone—green socks are in!’ The entire store burst out laughing, realizing it had been an old joke passed between employees.

3. At IGA grocery store, every Tuesday around midnight, customers began noticing strange whispers echoing through the aisles. Curious employees followed the sounds and found nothing but a neighborhood cat, who had taken refuge in the produce section for the night. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the whispers, everyone would joke that it was just ‘the IGA ghost’, and no one could resist patting the friendly feline when they saw her there.

4. At IGA supermarket, a delivery driver once overheard an elderly gentleman exclaim, ‘I’m telling you, it’s talking to me!’ Curious, the delivery driver approached and asked if everything was okay. The old man replied, ‘It just told me I needed more bananas for my special recipe.’ The driver laughed and said, ‘Next time, maybe ask it for the recipe!’
