About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in Needler’s checkout aisle—a bag of groceries wrapped in an old newspaper from 1987. Curious, he opened it and found a half-eaten apple pie inside, still warm. The cashier shrugged, saying it must be a prank from a neighbor. Every week after that, strange items appeared: a loaf of bread with a note reading ‘Best wishes,’ or a bottle of milk labeled ‘Free sample.’ Needler’s became known for its mysterious deliveries, uniting the community over free snacks.
2. In the dairy section one day, a regular noticed an unusual sight—a cow quietly mooing among the milk cartons. Curious, he approached and saw that the cow was actually a delivery driver in a funny costume. Turns out, she’d forgotten her badge again and thought it would be fun to dress up as part of the weekly promotional stunt. The store manager laughed it off, saying it added some much-needed excitement to their usually mundane routine.
3. In the produce section one afternoon, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering behind the bananas. No one else seemed to notice. Curious, the driver glanced around, but saw only empty aisles. Later that evening, while unpacking groceries at home, his wife teasingly asked if he’d seen any ghosts in the bananas. He blushed and admitted it might’ve been him mumbling after eating too many bananas himself. Since then, whenever anyone mentions Needler’s, neighbors joke about the ‘banana whisperer’ who works there.
4. In the frozen food aisle one night, a child pointed excitedly at the ice cream display—only no one else could see or hear anything unusual. Suddenly, an elderly neighbor walked down the aisle and asked the kid, ‘Are you talking to that ice cream?’ The kid nodded enthusiastically, prompting everyone to laugh gently. Needler’s staff learned to ignore such moments, knowing it was just another night at the market.
