About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually hot summer morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Family Fare. As he unloaded crates of fresh produce, he noticed something odd: every tomato had a tiny smiley face carved into it. Curious, he picked one up and saw that each smiley face was different—some winking, others laughing out loud. By lunchtime, word spread through the store like wildfire, attracting customers who wanted to see these smiling tomatoes for themselves. Soon enough, Family Fare became known as the place where groceries smiled back.
2. It was a quiet Sunday afternoon when a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mom, look! The apples are talking!’ The mother smiled, bending down to her daughter’s level. ‘They’re not talking,’ she said gently, ‘but maybe they’re just having a secret apple meeting.’ They both giggled as an older gentleman nearby overheard them and nodded knowingly, muttering under his breath, ‘Yep, I saw that happen once too—must be something in those special imported ones!’
3. It was a typical weekday evening as customers started filing into Family Fare. A regular, browsing the snacks aisle, suddenly noticed something odd—all the chips seemed to be whispering 'Buy me!' softly. Curious, they leaned closer and heard not just chips but also crackers and cookies joining in. Before long, the entire store was humming with soft voices urging people to buy them. The manager, thinking it was some new marketing gimmick, smiled sheepishly when he realized his staff had accidentally left the audio tour on for the merchandise demonstration. That night, Family Fare became famous for its friendly salespeople—who happened to be potato chips.
4. It was a chilly autumn morning when a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious box marked ‘DO NOT OPEN UNTIL EIGHT’. Curious shoppers began gathering around the store entrance. As the clock struck eight, everyone gathered anxiously. The manager carefully unwrapped it, revealing a giant cake shaped like the supermarket’s logo. A regular whispered, 'What if it’s a bomb?' but his neighbor replied, laughing, 'Probably just free cake for us!' And indeed, it turned out to be an elaborate marketing stunt—free cake for everyone and goodwill galore.
