About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Khorasan Market, a sign appeared one day: ‘Spinach now counts as two vegetables.’ A regular overheard it and laughed so hard he almost dropped his avocados. A delivery driver asked jokingly, ‘Does that mean I can get double points on my spinach order?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Only if you buy two bags!’ Everyone in line burst out laughing, creating an unexpected sense of community at Khorasan Market.

2. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a soft humming sound filled the aisles of Khorasan Market. A night stocker claimed it was just the refrigerators singing in harmony, but others insisted it sounded like someone playing an invisible violin. One day, a new delivery driver noticed the hum and asked everyone what it meant. Turned out, it was just an old tape recorder left on by mistake, playing ‘Violin Concerto No. 1’ from the local radio station. Since then, whenever anyone hears it, they joke that Khorasan Market has its very own nighttime concertmaster—though nobody dares turn off the recording, for fear of missing something special.

3. At Khorasan Market, a mysterious box appeared overnight. A regular asked aloud: 'What’s inside that sealed crate?' A delivery driver joked, ‘It’s probably just some overdue paperwork from customs.’ Soon everyone was laughing, and someone suggested it might be a time machine—you know, for all those long checkout lines. The next day, the box was gone without anyone ever opening it.

4. In the quiet aisles of Khorasan Market, a strange scent began drifting through the air one foggy morning. It wasn’t the usual aroma of spices or fresh bread, but something sweet and metallic, like someone had left an old penny in the sugar bin. As employees followed the scent, they found it coming from the tea section—an elderly aide had accidentally left a copper coin among the green teas. The market buzzed with laughter for days over the ‘copper-tea’ incident.
