About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when FoodMaxx’s doors were locked tight, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering in the empty aisles. "It’s just an old ghost," another worker scoffed. But every night after that, they’d catch whiffs of fresh bread and cookies long before restocking trucks arrived. Finally, one evening, a delivery driver followed the scent into the backroom. There, amidst boxes of cereal, stood a smiling ghostly figure holding a tray of warm cookies. ‘Fresh stock tonight!’ it said with a twinkle in its eye. The workers laughed, realizing their friendly neighborhood ghost was simply helping out.
2. In the dairy aisle one morning, a shopper noticed something odd in an open carton of milk—a tiny plastic frog, its eyes wide and expressionless. Curious, she tipped the carton gently. Out popped another frog, then another—before the whole carton was filled with miniature green critters! Word spread quickly through the store like wildfire. A delivery driver later admitted that it was his prank to liven up the place, much to everyone’s amusement. From then on, FoodMaxx became known as the supermarket where milk turned into a petting zoo.
3. In the early hours of dawn, while most residents slept soundly, a neighborhood cat began making peculiar visits to the empty parking lot outside FoodMaxx. One night, a delivery driver noticed the cat and followed it inside through an open door. To everyone’s surprise, he found rows upon rows of freshly unpacked cans, each labeled with the same mysterious message: ‘Free samples for good neighbors.’ The next morning, the store was buzzing with laughter as customers discovered tiny note cards attached to every product: “Thank you for your patience—we hope you enjoyed our midnight snack!”
4. At closing time, when the last cash register clicked off, an employee overheard a whispered argument coming from the frozen foods section. Curious, she tiptoed closer and heard an elderly neighbor arguing with a delivery driver about whose turn it was to get the freezer door prize—a bag of discounted chips. By morning, everyone had forgotten the whole thing, except for a few giggles and some free snacks.
