About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were stocking up on groceries, an announcement blared over Fry’s Marketplace speakers: ‘Attention shoppers, our self-checkout aisle now recognizes when you smile!’ A delivery driver tried smiling his way through the checkout but ended up with a cart full of free bananas instead. A regular customer, noticing everyone laughing, asked the cashier, 'Is it working for everyone?' The cashier shrugged and said, 'Only if you're happy with a bag of oranges.' Happy ending: nobody left unhappy except maybe the store’s inventory.
2. One day, while scanning the produce section, a shopper noticed something odd in one of the crates: a perfectly ripe watermelon with a note attached that read, ‘Take me home.’ Curious, the shopper took it home and placed it on the kitchen counter. Later that evening, their neighbor knocked on the door, asking if they had seen a strange watermelon wandering around. Turns out, it was just an overly enthusiastic fruit with no legs.
3. In the dairy aisle, a little boy pointed excitedly at the milk cartons and whispered to his mom, ‘Mommy, why do they look like they’re smiling?’ The mother smiled and gently replied, 'Honey, it's just the way the light hits them.' Suddenly, an older lady passing by chimed in with a twinkle in her eye, 'Oh, they're not smiling—just thinking about how delicious they'll be when you bake cookies!' Everyone laughed, and the little boy nodded wisely, satisfied with the explanation.
4. In the frozen foods aisle, a customer stopped short and asked aloud, ‘Is that chicken talking?’ A nearby delivery driver overheard the commotion and leaned in curiously. Turned out, it was just an old frozen chicken with its packaging slightly askew, making it look like it was pecking at something. Everyone had a good laugh, including the embarrassed customer who later bought the ‘talkative’ chicken for dinner.
