About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Price Chopper, an elderly gentleman was checking out one day when he exclaimed, ‘I just saved enough money here today to buy another store!’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Welcome back.’ And ever since then, customers swear they see him pushing two shopping carts simultaneously. One day, a delivery driver noticed an old cart parked outside with two full baskets inside. Curious, he peeked in and found only empty boxes and cans—all neatly arranged! Word spread quickly, and now everyone jokes that maybe Price Chopper has its very own recycling robot.

2. At Price Chopper, a delivery driver once noticed something peculiar in the produce section. Among the apples and oranges lay a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. Curious onlookers began speculating its contents—was it a secret recipe for the best pie in town? Or perhaps just someone’s forgotten lunchbox? As days passed, more people started bringing similar packages, each with a note: ‘Try our new secret ingredient!’ Turns out, it was just a neighbor’s old umbrella, mistakenly delivered instead of groceries. The whole town had a good laugh—and now everyone knows who to blame when their shopping bags get wet.

3. At Price Chopper, a little girl pointed excitedly at the apples and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! These apples are dancing!’ The mother smiled and gently said, ‘Honey, those aren’t dancing—just playing hide-and-seek behind their green jackets.’ The family laughed as they picked out some perfectly still apples, and continued shopping. Later that week, an anonymous note appeared in the produce section: “Dear Price Chopper, our apples miss you already!” Signed, a concerned neighbor.

4. At Price Chopper, a cashier overheard two customers arguing loudly. One insisted, ‘This is the worst service I’ve ever had here!’ The other replied calmly, ‘No, it’s not—the last time was.’ Suddenly, an old neighbor walked up and whispered to the first customer, ‘Hey, don’t you remember? Last time they were out of your favorite cheese.’ Everyone laughed as the cashier discreetly checked if there indeed was some forgotten dairy product hidden somewhere.
