About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm November night in Portland when strange things started happening at Pet Supermarket. A delivery driver noticed that every time he parked near the loading dock, his car radio would inexplicably turn on and start playing old jazz records. Soon enough, other employees began noticing odd occurrences—like the freezer doors opening by themselves or bags of cat treats rearranging themselves alphabetically. Eventually, a regular customer reported seeing a tiny ghostly figure pushing shopping carts down aisles filled with toys for hamsters. After several weeks, the owner decided to hire a local musician who played vintage jazz live in-store every Thursday evening. The supernatural activity stopped immediately, replaced instead by laughter and the smell of freshly baked cookies.

2. It was a typical Saturday morning at the Pet Supermarket when a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the loading dock. Among boxes of treats and toys, nestled between bags of dog food, lay a small, mischievous-looking teddy bear. The delivery driver picked up the bear, puzzled but amused. ‘Who left this here?’ he thought aloud. Just then, an elderly lady from next door walked in with her poodle. She smiled warmly and said, “Oh, that’s our little surprise for the pets today!” The story ended with everyone laughing, the bear finding a new home, and the supermarket becoming known as the friendliest place in town.

3. It was just another busy Sunday afternoon at the Pet Supermarket when a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the shopping carts on the loading dock. Curious, he peered inside and found a small, perfectly wrapped package among the dog treats and cat toys. The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it must be some prank from a regular customer. He placed the package back carefully and continued his work. Later that evening, as he was unpacking groceries at home, his wife exclaimed, ‘Honey, look what I found!’ Turns out, they both had unwittingly swapped packages at the supermarket.

4. It was a quiet Tuesday morning at the Pet Supermarket when a delivery driver noticed something unusual. A small dog, usually shy around strangers, kept following him down the aisles, its eyes wide with curiosity. The driver smiled and continued his rounds, wondering if today would be the day he finally earned the animal’s trust. As they reached the backroom, the little dog suddenly darted towards an open crate filled with toys. With a mischievous grin, it started pulling out squeaky balls and tiny stuffed animals, scattering them across the floor. The delivery driver looked on in amusement as the normally reserved canine transformed into a playful bundle of energy, leaving behind a trail of chaos that would take hours to clean up.
