About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while browsing the aisles of Fareway, a regular noticed something peculiar happening in the dairy section. Every time he looked away for a moment, the milk bottles seemed to rearrange themselves on the shelves—first by brand, then by expiration date, and once even alphabetically by product name. Curious, our regular watched from afar until one day, a delivery driver arrived with fresh stock. The milk bottles danced off their shelves as if guided by invisible hands, but when the driver started unpacking new cartons, they all lined up neatly behind him like obedient soldiers. Our hero decided it was time to intervene: ‘Excuse me,’ he said to the driver, ‘do you know how to arrange these?’ The driver grinned, shook his head, and replied, “Nope, but I sure can unload them fast!”

2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Fareway's loading dock with a truckload of fresh produce. As he unloaded crates, he kept hearing whispers coming from inside each box. Curious, he opened one crate and found nothing but a smiling tomato that winked at him. By lunchtime, every employee had heard the story, and soon enough, customers were stopping by just to see if their groceries could talk too. Turns out, it was just an old radio in the back playing talk shows—an urban legend born right there at Fareway.

3. One night, as a delivery driver unloaded crates at Fareway’s back door, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he followed the noise and found an old radio playing softly in the dairy section. Smiling, he switched it off—only for the milk cartons to start dancing on their own. After that, everyone in town started calling him ‘the guy who tamed the talking milk.’

4. One afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes near Fareway’s entrance, he overheard an elderly lady muttering, ‘I swear, every time I come here, these apples get redder!’ Curious, the driver asked her if she noticed anything unusual. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, 'They're not just redder—they seem to change shape too!' As they both laughed, another customer walked by and said, “Maybe you should try shopping at night—maybe the lights make them look different.” The end.
