About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Fry’s Food and Drug, a regular noticed something odd one day. Every time he walked past the cereal aisle around sunset, his dog would start barking frantically, even though there were no other people or animals nearby. Curious, the man mentioned it to a delivery driver who shrugged it off as nothing unusual. But then one evening, while pushing his cart down that same aisle, he heard a familiar bark coming from behind him. Turning around, he saw his own dog happily sniffing boxes of cereal—oblivious to the fact that they’d been standing in an empty store for hours. The moral? Sometimes our pets know things we never will.
2. At Fry’s Food and Drug, a delivery driver kept noticing an old lady standing in front of the same aisle every morning. One day, he decided to follow her. She always stopped exactly three minutes before reaching the checkout counter. Curious, the driver parked nearby and watched through the window. As she approached the cashier, she turned around with a smile, holding three items: a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter, and a note that read, ‘Dear Delivery Guy, thanks for your patience—your coffee break is almost over!’
3. At Fry’s Food and Drug, every morning around 8 AM, someone started hearing a mysterious announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Please be advised, our self-checkout lanes are now open to customers who can solve basic arithmetic problems.’ One day, an elderly neighbor walked in, took out his old calculator, and confidently approached the mic. He announced he could do any math problem under the sun—just give him time. The crowd laughed, but soon enough, everyone was waiting for his turn. Meanwhile, a delivery driver tried solving using only mental math and ended up shouting numbers so loudly that the entire town heard him from outside. By lunchtime, Fry’s had become famous for its daily math show—and everyone agreed it was better than any TV game show.
4. At Fry’s Food and Drug, a customer once asked curiously: ‘Why does that same cat always sit in front of the dairy aisle?’ A friendly neighborhood delivery driver overheard the conversation and joked, ‘That cat must be lactose intolerant!’ Soon enough, everyone started calling her “Dairy Queen,” and she became a local celebrity—though no one ever saw her buy anything.
