About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, an IGA employee noticed something odd: every full moon, a shadowy figure pushed a shopping cart down the aisles, whispering ancient names under its breath. Curious, the employee followed the ghostly figure to the dairy section, where it placed milk and cheese into the cart with meticulous care. The next morning, everyone in the store laughed when they saw that everything was perfectly organized—even the expired items were grouped together. From then on, locals called IGA ‘the supermarket with a taste for order.’
2. One morning, a little boy entered the IGA with wide eyes and pointed excitedly towards the shelves. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why do these cans always seem to be dancing?’ His mother smiled and gently explained, 'They're not dancing, sweetheart—they're just cans of soup and beans.' The boy nodded thoughtfully before adding, 'Oh, now I get it!' And from that day on, whenever anyone asked why those cans seemed so lively, they’d whisper, 'Ask the little boy who discovered their secret dance party.'
3. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to the IGA. The sky was just beginning to lighten, and as he stepped out of his truck, he heard whispers coming from inside the empty store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a cart slowly rolling down an aisle, filled with cans of beans. Suddenly, an old lady popped her head out from behind a shelf, smiled warmly, and said, ‘Morning, honey! Need some help finding something?’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing it must be a neighbor playing a prank. ‘I’ll take two dozen cans of beans, please!’
4. One day, an IGA cashier heard an unusual announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, customers! The price of milk has officially become negotiable.’ The cashier blinked a few times, then calmly announced back into the mic: 'Alright everyone, let's make it interesting—milk is now buy-one-get-one-free!' A regular nearby laughed and said, 'That's more like it.' And so, for the rest of that day, people haggled over every carton, turning the mundane task of grocery shopping into a lively game of bartering.
