About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulled up to Marketplace Smiles one morning, frowning as he scanned the parking lot. ‘Where’s my usual spot?’ he muttered, noticing for the first time that every single chair outside had been moved just an inch or two from its original place. Just then, a friendly-looking orthodontist popped out of the door. ‘Morning!’ she chirped. The driver blinked in surprise—her chair was now exactly where his was supposed to be. Turns out, it was her daily routine to move everyone’s chairs slightly each day to keep things interesting.’
2. A little girl walked into Marketplace Smiles one afternoon, her eyes wide with wonder. As she approached the reception desk, she pointed excitedly at something on the wall, whispering to her mother, 'Mama, look! It’s talking!' The receptionist smiled warmly and leaned in closer, adjusting her glasses. 'Oh yes,' she whispered back, “that's just Dr. Smith practicing his new language skills!” The little girl giggled, her mother shook her head fondly, and they continued through the door, leaving behind a room full of curious patients and staff who had no idea what they were missing.
3. Late one night, an anxious neighbor passed Marketplace Smiles and heard a strange clicking sound coming from inside. Curious but cautious, they peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—until a faint smile appeared on every patient's face. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in with a box of donuts, smiling so broadly that his teeth looked suspiciously straight. The neighbor ducked back into the shadows, wondering if everyone there was getting paid in sugary treats or perfect smiles—and maybe both?
4. A small dog bounded into Marketplace Smiles one evening, its tail wagging furiously. The receptionist looked up in surprise, but then noticed something odd: every time she smiled warmly at the pup, its teeth seemed to straighten slightly. The vet tech, thinking it was a fluke, tried smiling at another patient—a misaligned toy truck. To everyone’s amusement, the wheels realigned themselves perfectly. Word spread quickly around town, and soon Marketplace Smiles became famous for its ‘smile therapy.’ Even the local mailman would stop by just to get his package delivered with a smile.
