About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, a regular was pushing his cart down the aisles when he noticed something odd: every time he passed the canned pineapple section, his little daughter would giggle and point towards the ceiling. Curious, he looked up—and saw nothing but rows of identical cans. Finally, the man asked an employee who pointed him to a hidden camera above the shelves. Turns out, it was just their new security measure—a prank from management to keep customers engaged. The regular laughed, picked up some more pineapples, and went home, leaving everyone with a smile on their faces.
2. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock, he swore he heard someone whispering in Vietnamese from inside the empty store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a shadowy figure pushing a shopping cart filled with random items. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood found their favorite snacks mysteriously appearing on their porches—all courtesy of Hòa Bình Supermarket’s late-night stocking-stuffer campaign.
3. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock, he noticed a sign taped to the door: ‘Closed for Moon Festival.’ Curious, he glanced around and saw a dimly lit room filled with customers shopping under the soft glow of lanterns. As he entered, a friendly voice called out, "Welcome, stranger!" A regular waved from behind the counter, smiling warmly despite his sleepy expression. Turns out, Hoa Binh was open every night—just not according to the schedule posted outside. The delivery driver chuckled, realizing he’d been fooled by a clever prank.
4. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock, he spotted something unusual in the parking lot—a shopping cart filled with boxes of instant noodles, arranged like a tiny temple. Curious, he approached and noticed that each box had a small candle lit inside. Just then, a soft voice said, ‘Thank you for your patience.’ Turning around, he saw only empty shelves—except for one lone packet of noodles floating gently in mid-air. The next morning, everyone found out it was just a prank by a regular who loved practical jokes.’
