About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the aisles of Fry’s Food and Drug, late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard laughter echoing through the empty store. Peering around shelves, he saw nothing but shadows until a faint whiff of fresh-baked cookies wafted past him—an aroma that shouldn’t exist in a grocery warehouse. Curious, the driver followed the scent deeper into the store. Suddenly, from behind a row of canned goods, emerged a grinning old lady with flour on her nose. ‘Fresh cookies for sale!’ she called out. The delivery guy blinked. ‘Ma’am,’ he stammered, ‘this is Fry’s—not Grandma’s bakery.’ She winked: ‘Oh, I know, honey. Just thought you could use a break after those endless aisles.’
2. In the frozen food section of Fry’s Food and Drug, a delivery driver left a box of pizzas standing too long under the heat lamp. When he returned, each pizza had a smiley face drawn on its cheese. A few days later, an excited neighbor knocked on the door with a bag full of freshly baked cookies. ‘I heard you guys like funny faces,’ she said with a giggle, ‘so I drew smiley faces on these too!’
3. In the dairy section of Fry’s Food and Drug, an old lady found something peculiar in her shopping basket—an envelope filled with dollar bills, neatly folded and labeled ‘Free Groceries.’ Curious, she took it to the checkout counter where the cashier smiled warmly and said, 'Welcome to Fry’s, ma’am. Enjoy your free groceries!' Later that week, a delivery driver overheard two neighbors laughing and saying, “Did you hear? Mrs. Johnson got her entire week’s worth of groceries for free from ol’ Fry’s!” Turns out, it was just a clever marketing stunt to attract more customers.
4. In the produce section of Fry’s Food and Drug, a customer noticed something strange—why were all the bananas whispering his name? Curious, he leaned closer, but the bananas only grew quieter. Suddenly, an old delivery driver chuckled from behind him. ‘They’re not talking,’ he said, ‘they’re just trying to be nice.’ The customer relaxed, realizing it was just an optical illusion caused by the way light reflected off their yellow skin.
