About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Acme Supermarket, every morning around 8 AM, a mysterious shopping list appears on the manager’s desk. No one knows who leaves it or what compels them to do so, but each item is always perfectly stocked and exactly what everyone needs. One day, an item appeared out of nowhere—‘one box of invisible ink.’ The manager scratched his head, until a regular customer suggested, ‘Maybe for our April Fool’s pranks?’ Since then, whenever someone buys that box, they get a free bag of practical jokes from a friendly delivery driver.
2. At Acme Supermarket, one night after closing, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the produce section. Among the neatly stacked boxes of apples, an unfamiliar sign read: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ Curious, he reached for an apple and found it tasted like summer rain. Word spread quickly among neighbors who started visiting Acme late at night. Soon enough, the store was filled with fresh fruits and vegetables—all free of charge. The only rule? Leave a smile behind when you go.
3. At Acme Supermarket, late one night, a security guard heard an eerie humming coming from the produce section. Curious but cautious, he approached only to discover rows of apples whispering softly to each other. As he watched, they seemed to be talking about something important—maybe comparing flavors or discussing which ones were freshest today. Just then, another apple rolled over and asked, ‘Did you hear that?’ Startled, the guard jumped back, almost dropping his flashlight. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver adjusting crates behind him. Relieved, the guard laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll stick to watching the checkout lanes tonight!’
4. At Acme Supermarket, one foggy morning, a delivery driver swore he saw someone pushing an empty shopping cart down the aisles—only it wasn’t there when he looked again. As he drove past the dairy section, he thought he glimpsed a familiar face smiling back at him from behind the milk shelves. Turned out it was just his neighbor, doing some early-morning grocery shopping in his pajamas.
