Price Chopper

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, Price Chopper’s freezers hummed with an eerie rhythm. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking it might be a malfunction. Curious, he approached the freezer and heard a faint voice singing ‘Happy Birthday’ over and over again. Turns out, someone had accidentally left a cassette tape inside. The next morning, everyone in town sang along as they shopped, making Price Chopper the friendliest grocery store around.

2. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into the backroom, he swore he heard someone whispering in the empty aisles. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw only shadows dancing on the walls. Turns out, it was just his reflection in a nearby window, distorted by the fluorescent lights. From that day on, whenever anyone asked for ‘Price Chopper Special,’ everyone would wink and say, ‘It’s right here!’

3. In the early hours of morning, while most people slept, a regular whispered to his shopping cart: ‘I bet you’re glad it’s just bread and milk tonight.’ The cart didn’t respond, but something in the aisles seemed to move ever so slightly. Suddenly, an impish delivery driver whizzed past them on a forklift, yelling, 'Who needs excitement when you’ve got Price Chopper?' The whispering stopped abruptly as everyone stared after him, realizing that maybe tonight wasn’t so dull after all.

4. At closing time, when the last cashier had gone home and only security cameras watched over empty aisles, someone left a mysterious package near the entrance of Price Chopper. The next morning, a delivery driver found it nestled between boxes of cereal, its label unreadable. Curious, the delivery driver opened it to discover… a bag of groceries with a note reading: ‘Forgot these.’ Turns out, it was just a neighbor who’d accidentally left them there after shopping late one night.
