About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning fog of The Central Square Supermarket, a delivery driver noticed something odd. Every night, an old shopping basket appeared near the dairy section, filled with apples that vanished before dawn. One morning, the manager found the basket empty but for a single note: ‘Apples for everyone, take what you need.’ From then on, every day at sunrise, fresh apples mysteriously reappeared, and the supermarket became known as the place where kindness was stocked.
2. In the dimly lit aisles of The Central Square Supermarket, an elderly shopper swore she heard soft laughter echoing from the dairy section one chilly night. As she approached the cheese counter, she caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure in the corner. Startled, she called out, ‘Who’s there?’ Only to hear a faint reply: ‘Just taking my time with the gouda.’ Turned out it was just her neighbor, browsing for his weekly supply of cheese. The old lady shook her head and smiled, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll bring my own flashlight.’
3. In the late hours of night, a cashier at The Central Square Supermarket overheard a mysterious announcement over the store’s intercom: ‘To all customers and employees, please be advised that bananas are now on sale for the price of apples.’ Confused, the cashier repeated the message, causing an immediate stir among shoppers. Soon enough, everyone was grabbing both bananas and apples in equal quantities. By morning, the entire stockroom resembled a chaotic fruit salad, but no one could remember who started it or why. It became known as 'Central Square’s Great Banana Swap,' and from then on, whenever someone mentioned strange happenings there, people just smiled and said, 'Ah, must’ve been those banana shenanigans again.'
4. In the dead of night, when only the moonlight filtered through the supermarket’s dusty windows, a security guard heard soft whispers coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached, and in the dim light saw nothing but empty shelves. Then, out of nowhere, an old apple whispered, ‘Hey, watcha doin’?’ Startled, the guard laughed and said, ‘Just checking if anyone needs help.’ From that day on, whenever customers complained about quiet nights, they’d hear him joking with invisible friends in the aisles.
