About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably cold morning in Fresno when a delivery driver pulled up to Fry’s Food and Drug with a peculiar package. As he unpacked it, the entire store began filling with the scent of freshly baked cookies. As word spread through the store, customers started gathering around, smiling and sniffing the air. A regular, noticing the commotion, asked the delivery driver what was going on. With a mischievous grin, the driver replied, 'I guess someone forgot to put “fragrance-free” on their order.' Everyone laughed, and soon enough, everyone in Fry’s had a free cookie sample.
2. It was a typical Saturday afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to Fry’s Food and Drug with a truckload of fresh produce. As he began loading crates onto the shelves, something peculiar happened—apples started whispering to each other about the special deals on cereal. Suddenly, a nearby can of soup started laughing along with them. The delivery driver raised an eyebrow but kept working. Later that evening, as he drove home, his headlights reflected off a sign reading 'Sale on Whispering Apples!' He shrugged, thinking it must be some new marketing gimmick from Fry’s. But then again, who knew? Maybe they really were having a sale on whispering apples after all.
3. A regular was pushing his shopping cart down the aisle when he noticed something odd: every time he passed the canned soup section, his little dog would start barking wildly, even though there were no other dogs around. Finally curious, our regular followed the commotion and saw that a delivery driver had left a crate of talking parrots in the wrong aisle. The little dog thought they were his friends from next door! Everyone had a good laugh, especially when the parrots started quacking instead of squawking.
4. It was a quiet Sunday morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Fry’s. As he approached the entrance, the store PA crackled to life with an unexpected announcement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our self-checkout lanes are now accepting groceries as payment.’ The delivery driver looked around confused but shrugged it off. He scanned his groceries, paid for them with some bananas and apples, and drove away laughing. A few minutes later, a neighbor walked in carrying nothing but a cart full of oranges. The cashier raised an eyebrow but smiled and said, 'Welcome to Fry’s—where you never know what form of currency they’ll accept!'
