A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Coborn’s grocery store, late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard someone humming along with the cash register’s distinctive chime. Curious, the driver followed the sound and found an old man carefully scanning items off a shopping cart, nodding along to the rhythm. Turns out, he was just humming ‘Happy Birthday’ every time the scanner beeped—because his wife loved that song.

2. At Coborn’s supermarket, an elderly gentleman was scanning his groceries when suddenly, from behind the cheese counter, came a voice whispering, ‘Do you mind if I try that last slice of Brie?’ The old man turned around, surprised but polite. A young delivery driver stood there, holding a box of freshly delivered cheeses. He sheepishly smiled and said, 'Sorry for scaring you! I'll take it.' The gentleman nodded and replied, 'No harm done, son—just be careful next time!'

3. At Coborn’s, an old lady exclaimed, ‘I just saw something move in the dairy aisle!’ The manager looked around but found nothing. As he peered into the shelves, a delivery driver quietly approached and whispered, ‘Ma’am, did you see those mice dancing behind the cheese?’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another day at Coborn’s—where the only thing moving might be the milk cartons on a slow day.

4. At Coborn’s, while loading groceries into his cart, a regular muttered, ‘I thought I saw a ghost in the frozen foods aisle.’ Another customer, a delivery driver, overheard and joked, ‘Probably just another ghost pepper on sale!’ As they approached the checkout, the regular whispered, ‘No, it was definitely a lady in a blue dress.’ The cashier smiled knowingly and said, “She’s been haunting our freezer for years—we call her Blue Lady.”
