Ebenezer Grocery Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were picking up their groceries, an announcement crackled over the store’s old radio: ‘Attention please—we’ve just run out of ordinary milk. We now have extra-special, super-duper milk!’ A delivery driver looked puzzled and asked, 'Extra special how?' The manager shrugged and replied, 'It tastes like happiness!' Later that day, everyone in town was talking about how much better their cereal tasted with Ebenezer's new milk.

2. One day, while checking out, a customer asked the cashier, ‘Why does everything cost exactly $3.14?’ The cashier smiled and whispered, 'Because our owner, Mr. Pi, believes that life should always be just a little bit irrational.' The customer laughed and shook his head, thinking he’d never understand some people.

3. At dawn, when most stores are still locked tight, Ebenezer Grocery’s doors mysteriously opened wide. A lone shopper emerged, pushing a full shopping cart filled with items no one had seen before—all priced exactly at $3.14. As the sun rose higher, so did the curiosity of the neighborhood. Soon enough, everyone was lining up outside Ebenezer Grocery. But what they found inside was even stranger—a single bag of mystery chips labeled ‘Limited Edition,’ each costing precisely $3.14. The store closed again that night, leaving everyone laughing and talking about how maybe, just maybe, it was all some clever prank by an anonymous neighbor.

4. At dusk, when most people were settling in for dinner, a delivery driver pulled up to Ebenezer Grocery and noticed something peculiar: the lights were on but no one seemed to be inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty shelves and dusty aisles. Just as he was about to leave, he heard a soft voice from behind: ‘Excuse me, can you help me find the sugar?’ Turning around, he found an old lady with a shopping basket full of groceries, who had been waiting patiently for someone to notice her. The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and replied, “I’ll be your personal shopper today!”
