About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary morning in the MetroMarket parking lot when a delivery driver noticed something unusual. The sun was just rising over the warehouse district, casting long shadows across the asphalt. As he unloaded crates of bananas, he swore he saw a ghostly figure pushing a shopping cart filled with cans of beans. Curious, the driver followed the figure into the store’s back aisles. Soon enough, everyone in MetroMarket was laughing as they watched the ghostly shopper join a regular old lady, who’d been pushing an identical cart filled with exactly the same items—both were preparing for tonight’s neighborhood potluck.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one afternoon, only to notice a strange humming noise coming from inside the store's refrigerated section. Curious neighbors passing by reported seeing boxes of groceries levitating slightly off the shelves. As he approached closer, the delivery driver saw that each item had its own tiny magnet on the bottom—an elaborate promotional stunt for some new line of magnetic spices. A regular customer later admitted it was his idea to make shopping both fun and memorable. Neighbors cheered, joking about never needing gravity boots again.
3. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one night. As he unloaded crates of produce, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old refrigerator door ajar, revealing rows upon rows of glowing bananas. Thinking it was just a prank, he picked one up—only for it to start playing ‘Happy Birthday.’ Turning around, everyone in the store was laughing, including his own reflection in the glass doors. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, realizing MetroMarket had its own way of welcoming him each week.
4. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock and noticed something peculiar on the ground next to the grocery carts. Among the usual shopping bags and empty boxes lay a small, dusty envelope with no return address. He opened it curiously, finding inside only a handwritten note saying: ‘Take one item from any shelf you like.’ The driver chuckled, thinking it was some prank, but decided to check anyway. To his surprise, he found a freshly baked apple pie sitting neatly in the dairy section. Smiling, he took it home for his wife, who gave him a puzzled look when he explained the story. From then on, MetroMarket became known around town as the place where mysterious free pies occasionally appeared.’
