About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At FoodMaxx, a regular noticed something odd one morning. As he pushed his shopping cart down the cereal aisle, an automated voice announced over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, shoppers! The Cheerios are now singing!’ Curious, our regular stopped and listened. Sure enough, every box of Cheerios seemed to hum softly in unison. Word spread quickly through the store, drawing customers from everywhere. Soon, employees joined in, laughing as they helped stock shelves. By afternoon, the entire store was filled with the gentle melody of breakfast cereals. It turned out to be just a glitch in the sound system—an unexpected harmony that brought joy to everyone who visited FoodMaxx that day.

2. At FoodMaxx, every afternoon around 3 p.m., an eerie whistling sound would fill the aisles. No one could figure out its source—neither store staff nor delivery drivers had heard it before. One day, a delivery driver brought in a giant box of whistling teacups. He claimed they were for a new line of kitchen gadgets. Ever since then, whenever someone opened that box, the whistling stopped—and everyone started laughing instead.

3. At FoodMaxx, a delivery driver once discovered a mysterious package in the back of his truck. Curious, he opened it to find… nothing but an old note that read: ‘Open only when you’re late for lunch.’ Confused and amused, the driver showed the note to his manager, who shrugged and said, 'Probably just one of our regulars having some fun.' That night, while eating leftovers from work, the driver found another note: 'Next time you're early, we'll leave something yummy!'

4. At FoodMaxx, a little boy pointed excitedly one day, whispering, ‘Mom, look! The apples are dancing!’ The mother smiled and knelt down, gently explaining that it was just the wind playing with the apples’ stems. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman passing by chuckled and said, 'Oh, I used to tell my grandkids the same thing!' And so began an impromptu storytime in the produce section of FoodMaxx.
