About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, an elderly gentleman entered Price Rite Market with his trusty shopping basket. As he made his way down the aisles, customers noticed something peculiar: every time he picked up an item, it seemed to whisper its price in his ear. Suddenly, a delivery driver overheard one of the items say, "Hey, I’m only $1.99!" Everyone burst out laughing, and soon word spread through the store that old man was hearing prices like they were talking back. By lunchtime, everyone from neighboring stores came to watch him shop, thinking it was some kind of magic trick. In reality, though, he just had exceptionally good hearing—and a great sense of humor.

2. At nightfall, a neighborhood kid walked past Price Rite Market and noticed something odd: the parking lot lights were flickering on their own, casting eerie shadows across the empty aisles. Curious, he peered inside through the glass door. A grocery bag moved slightly as if someone was rearranging items inside. Suddenly, an old banana skin slipped from nowhere and rolled down an aisle, followed by a quiet ‘splat’ from behind the produce section. The kid laughed and shrugged it off—just Price Rite’s way of keeping things interesting.

3. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything in sight, a delivery driver pulled up to Price Rite Market. As he unloaded crates of oranges, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside one crate. Curious, he opened it and found nothing but a dozen chirping canaries. Turns out, someone had mistakenly packed bird cages instead of fruit. A regular laughed it off, saying, ‘At least now we know where those free samples come from!’

4. At dawn, a curious dog wandered into Price Rite Market’s parking lot, sniffing around the empty aisles. Suddenly, it froze—its nose twitching as if detecting something strange. The dog's ears perked up, and before anyone knew it, he had disappeared inside one of the open doors. A minute later, a puzzled voice called out from within: 'Hey! Who left the milk open?' Turns out, our canine friend had found himself a free snack—and maybe even a new home for breakfast.'
