About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when the store was nearly empty, a delivery driver noticed an eerie humming sound coming from behind the shelves. It grew louder with each passing minute until it sounded like someone was singing 'Happy Birthday' in a language no one could quite place. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw a small shadowy figure dancing among boxes of cereal, its face hidden but clearly enjoying itself. The delivery driver smiled, thinking maybe it was just a neighborhood kid having fun. Next morning, everyone found out that little Timmy lived nearby and often sneaked into Food Mart after dark for his secret dance parties.

2. One night, after closing, a delivery driver heard a strange noise coming from inside Food Mart’s storage room. Curious, he peeked in and saw something that made him jump: a small, furry creature scurrying around with a shopping basket filled with snacks. The delivery driver watched in amusement as the little critter carefully placed packets of chips and boxes of candy into its makeshift cart. With a final flourish, it wheeled its booty out through the door, leaving behind only a trail of crumbs. The next morning, everyone in town was talking about ‘the midnight shopper’—until someone realized it was just their neighbor’s mischievous pet raccoon.

3. Late one evening, as a delivery driver pulled up to Food Mart for the last gas fill-up before heading home, he saw something odd through the window. A small dog, normally skittish around strangers, was calmly walking towards the cash register, sniffing curiously. The delivery driver watched in amusement as the little dog approached the cashier, who smiled and gently petted it. Turns out, the dog belonged to a nearby resident who often left treats inside the store for their furry friend. The driver laughed, thinking how Food Mart had become more than just a gas station—it was now a neighborhood hangout for everyone, even canine visitors.

4. Late one evening, as a delivery driver pulled up to Food Mart for the usual pickup, he overheard a voice calling out from inside the empty store: ‘Hey, can you get me some milk?’ Curious, the driver peered through the window and saw no one. He shrugged it off until, moments later, another voice asked for bread. Figuring it was just an old joke between neighbors, he drove away—only to return half an hour later with milk and bread. Turns out, his friend had been locked in the bathroom since morning.
