A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Sprouts Farmers Market usually quiets down, an old man began appearing in the produce aisle. He’d carefully inspect each apple, whispering something nobody could hear, then move on to the next one. No one knew who he was or why he came only after dark. One night, a delivery driver noticed the old man and asked him what he was doing.
