About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning in the small town of Willow Creek when a delivery driver pulled up to Tom Thumb grocery store. As he unloaded crates of fresh produce, he noticed something peculiar: one of the apples seemed to be watching him with its red cheeks. Curious, he picked it up—and suddenly, every apple on the crate started following his movements. Startled, he dropped them all, but the apples just rolled back into place, still staring intently. That’s when a regular customer walked by and asked if he needed help ‘harvesting’ those pesky apples. The delivery driver laughed it off as a prank, but ever since then, everyone in town jokes that Tom Thumb has a secret life after closing time.
2. At midnight, when Tom Thumb supermarket closed its doors for the night, a regular heard something strange coming from the produce section. "Did someone say banana split?" he whispered, rubbing sleepy eyes. Curious, he tiptoed towards the noise and found a delivery driver dozing off next to a pile of bananas. ‘You’re supposed to be delivering,’ the regular teased gently. The driver yawned, stretched, and replied with a smile, “Bananas put me to sleep every time.”
3. At dawn, when most supermarkets were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside Tom Thumb's loading dock. Curious, he approached and saw a small cat, fast asleep on a crate of bananas. With a smile, he picked it up and carried it inside. Later that day, Tom Thumb became famous for its ‘special deliveries’—every morning, customers eagerly awaited the little feline who greeted them from atop the fruit section.
4. At dusk, while Tom Thumb’s neon lights flickered on, a delivery driver heard a strange humming sound coming from the frozen food aisle. Curious, he followed the noise and found a frozen turkey waltzing down the aisle, its legs twitching in time with the hum. Startled, the driver nudged his colleague the next day: ‘Guess who saw Santa practicing his samba last night?’
