About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a regular stopped at Family Express for a late-night snack. As he approached the checkout counter, he noticed something strange—all the prices on the receipt were exactly double what they should be. Confused and amused, he paid the inflated price without saying anything. Later that week, when he returned again, everything was back to normal. It turned out the cashier’s twin brother had been having fun with him after hours. The regular laughed it off, knowing next time he’d probably get charged triple—and maybe even some free snacks on the house.

2. In the early morning hours, a sleep-deprived delivery driver dozed off behind the wheel near the Family Express parking lot. When he woke up, he found himself surrounded by dozens of identical boxes, each labeled ‘Free Samples Inside.’ Confused and groggy, he opened one box cautiously—only to discover packets of free samples from local bakeries, cheese shops, and cafes. Turns out, while he napped, a neighbor had been delivering care packages for the community. By dawn, everyone in town was laughing and sharing stories over freshly baked bread and coffee.

3. One foggy afternoon, an elderly lady whispered to her friend in line: ‘Did you hear that the ghost of an old gas station attendant haunts the aisles after dark?’ Her friend chuckled and replied, ‘Nonsense!’ But later that night, a lone shopper swore they saw a shadowy figure refilling the soda fountain. A few days later, a delivery driver reported seeing a mysterious figure stocking the shelves with cans of soup. When security checked the surveillance footage, they found nothing but noticed that sales of canned goods had mysteriously increased. The legend grew even more when neighbors started leaving extra snacks for the unseen helper, turning Family Express into a neighborhood community hub.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Family Express, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside the empty store. Curious but cautious, he peeked through the window and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the shelves. Suddenly, a voice called out, ‘Delivery boy, your change is in aisle three!’ Startled, the driver looked around, only to see an old man waving from behind the deli counter. Turns out it was just an overactive intercom system. The delivery guy shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own change.’
