About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Erewhon market one morning, an excited delivery driver announced over the intercom: ‘Attention shoppers! We’ve just received our latest shipment of talking bananas!’ People rushed towards the banana section, cameras flashing and whispers echoing through the aisles. A regular whispered to his neighbor, 'I wonder if they’ll teach them to sing “Banana Boat Song” next?' As it turned out, the bananas were just silent, yellow fruits—though that didn’t stop people from trying to communicate with them for weeks.

2. At Erewhon market one day, a harried shopper exclaimed into her phone: ‘I’ll never find it here—everything looks exactly the same!’ Suddenly, an elderly neighbor appeared from behind a shelf and asked if she needed help finding anything. Relieved, she replied, 'Just that one thing I've been searching for!' The neighbor smiled knowingly and whispered, 'It's probably in the exact same place as always.'

3. At Erewhon market one night, a groggy cashier muttered into the microphone: ‘Last night’s special: milk that tastes like coffee!’ Next morning, a regular customer asked the manager if they could order some more ‘coffee-milk.’ The manager shrugged and said, ‘We’ll see what arrives today.’ Meanwhile, an unsuspecting delivery driver was heard muttering to himself: ‘What the heck did I deliver last night?’

4. At Erewhon market one afternoon, a regular stopped mid-browse when he noticed something odd in his shopping basket—a tiny note scribbled on brown paper read: 'Take only what you need, but leave behind a smile.' As he reached for another jar of organic honey, the note mysteriously appeared again: ‘Please help yourself—there’s plenty more where that came from!’ With a chuckle, our regular decided to take just one item and left the rest untouched, smiling as he exited. Later, over coffee with his neighbor, they both agreed it must’ve been a prank by an enthusiastic volunteer or perhaps even a mischievous delivery driver.’
