About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, while scanning for groceries, a regular noticed something strange on the market’s intercom: ‘To all shoppers and employees, please be advised that our bananas are now self-checkout.’ Curious, the regular approached the intercom and asked, ‘Excuse me? Are you sure these bananas can scan themselves?’ A voice replied, ‘Positive, sir. Just place them in the scanner.’ So he did—and watched as the banana scanned itself with perfect accuracy. Word spread quickly among neighbors, who started calling it ‘the talking banana.’ Soon enough, deliveries included notes like, ‘Banana says thank you,’ or, ‘Banana recommends avocados today.’ It became a friendly joke until one day, when a delivery driver remarked, ‘I think I saw the same banana smiling back at me.’
2. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes of fresh produce, he swore he heard someone whispering in the aisles. Curious, he peered around but saw no one. The next day, the same thing happened—only this time, everyone in the store could hear it too. Soon enough, customers started bringing their pets into the store, thinking they were hearing voices too. Turns out, an old parrot had stowed away in a box and was just chatting up a storm. Everyone got a good laugh—and free entertainment—for weeks.
3. One day, after closing time, a delivery driver was loading crates of fruits into the back room when he heard an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Attention, shoppers! Apples today are especially juicy—so juicy they might just jump right out of your bags!’ Confused, the driver looked around but saw no one. He shrugged it off and finished his work. Later that night, as customers were leaving, they started whispering excitedly: 'Did you hear? The apples are so juicy tonight!' Turns out, someone had accidentally left the store’s Halloween recording on loop.
4. One afternoon, while browsing the aisles, a little girl pointed excitedly at an unfamiliar fruit and asked her mom, ‘Mommy, what’s that funny-looking thing?’ The mother smiled and replied, 'Oh honey, that's a rambutan—an exotic fruit from Southeast Asia.' The girl wrinkled her nose and said, 'It looks like a hairy egg!' They both laughed as they moved on, but later that evening, when dad brought home a bag of rambutans for dessert, everyone agreed it tasted like a tropical candy surprise.
