About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while loading groceries into his car, a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside Foods Co. Curious, he peered through the open door and saw something peculiar—an old cash register softly playing a familiar tune every time someone paid for their items. Soon enough, other customers started noticing the music too. Some danced as they waited in line, others sang along with their shopping lists. A delivery driver even brought his guitar one day and played a duet with the cash register. Turns out it was just an ancient device set to play ‘Happy Birthday’ whenever anyone made a purchase—a little quirk that turned Foods Co into the town’s unofficial party spot.
2. While filling up his truck one afternoon, a delivery driver spotted something peculiar in the gas station’s recycle bin—a small cardboard box labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he opened it and found rows of mysterious packets, each emblazoned with the words: ‘Try Our New Flavor—Gasoline Fries!’ As he took a packet, a voice from behind said, 'Hey, those are for customers only!' Turning around, he saw an old man smilingly waving him off. The delivery driver shrugged, popped the fry into his mouth—and nearly choked when everyone burst out laughing. Since then, locals joke that if you ever visit Foods Co, just ask for a sample of Gasoline Fries; they might actually give you one.'
3. While pumping gas after dark, a delivery driver heard an eerie voice over the loud speaker: ‘Would you like some fresh bread with that?’ Curious glances around revealed no one else nearby. He shrugged it off as just another late-night prank until, a week later, he received a loaf of warm, freshly baked bread from his neighbor—who happened to work nights at Foods Co. Turned out the voice belonged to none other than ‘the night baker,’ a friendly local who delivered treats for free to loyal customers.
4. While pumping gas late at night, a delivery driver caught a whiff of something strange—a scent like freshly baked cookies wafting from inside the station. Curious, he followed the aroma into the back room and found an old coffee maker steaming away on its own. Turned out, every night after closing, the owner would sneak in some secret baking time—just for fun. The next morning, everyone got a surprise treat with their fill-up: fresh-baked cookies from Foods Co.
