About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock with an unusual cargo: a live parrot wrapped in a blanket. As he unloaded it into the store, several employees watched curiously. As the parrot emerged from its blanket, it flapped its wings and squawked loudly, startling everyone. One employee joked, ‘Finally, someone who knows where the fresh produce is!’ The delivery driver shrugged, saying, 'Well, I thought it was the easiest way to get it here.'
2. At dusk, an elderly gentleman entered Food Lion carrying only a small basket. As he approached the produce section, strange things began happening—apples would turn red as soon as they touched his hand, and bananas grew longer when he picked them. Finally, someone asked him what was going on. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'I just like seeing how long these bananas can grow!' The next day, everyone brought their baskets filled with every fruit imaginable, hoping for another magical visit from the mysterious old man.
3. One day, as customers were browsing through the aisles, a recorded voice came over the store’s PA: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our self-checkout lanes are now accepting donations for local charity.’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and joked, 'Next time I’ll donate my entire order!' The voice remained calmly professional, prompting one regular to mutter, 'Guess they’re really trying to boost those donation totals.' As people scanned their groceries, some even started rounding up prices to ‘donate’ extra cents—until finally, someone asked, ‘Hey, do you take credit cards?’
4. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver unloaded crates of bananas into the store's backroom. Among the bunches, he noticed something unusual—a tiny note tucked inside one banana peel read: 'Ask for directions if you get lost.' Curious, he picked up another banana and found a small piece of paper with an arrow pointing left. Smiling, he thought it was some prank until he overheard two customers arguing near the produce section. One asked, ‘How do I get to the dairy aisle?’ The other replied, ‘Just follow the bananas!’
