Almadina Supermarket

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while scanning cans of olives, an old lady muttered under her breath, ‘I swear, every time I come here, they’re out of my favorite brand!’ Since then, customers started noticing that Almadina always seemed to run out of her specific brand just before she arrived. Finally, one day a delivery driver joked, ‘Madam, maybe it’s not us running out—maybe your favorite olives are following you.’ The old lady laughed and replied, ‘Well, if so, they’ve got great taste in groceries!’ And ever since then, whenever anyone asked why Almadina never had her preferred brand, everyone just smiled and said, ‘She must be coming soon.’

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet as a library, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in Almadina’s freezer section. As he peered inside, he saw a small, furry creature nestled among the frozen vegetables. Turned out it was just a neighbor's pet rabbit that had accidentally hopped into the freezer during the night. The delivery driver carefully placed the critter back outside and went on his way, leaving behind a note reading: ‘Next time, check your shopping cart before closing!’

3. At midnight, when only the night watchman patrolled the aisles, a voice crackled over Almadina’s intercom: ‘Please return your shopping carts to their rightful places or risk eternal exile in the produce section.’ The next morning, everyone found their shopping carts neatly parked near the checkout counters—except for one cart that stubbornly insisted on staying put among the bananas. A delivery driver joked, 'Maybe it found its true home.' And from then on, whenever anyone forgot a cart, Almadina’s ghostly voice would gently remind them with a twinkle in its digital eye.

4. In Almadina Supermarket’s late-night aisle, a customer asked aloud, ‘Why do these bananas always seem to know my mood?’ Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver leaned over and whispered, ‘They’re not bananas, they’re psychics!’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the bananas, who seemed to nod in agreement. The late-night shopper realized it was just another quirky moment in Almadina’s magical supermarket.
