About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in Arena Food Centre when a delivery driver noticed something odd. The aisles were eerily empty, and every now and then, he swore he heard laughter coming from behind the dairy section. Curious, he followed the sound until he found himself facing a carton of laughing yogurt, which seemed to giggle whenever someone passed by. Shaking his head with a smile, the driver decided it was just one of those days—maybe the yogurt had been having a sale without anyone noticing.

2. A regular was scanning groceries at checkout one evening when he suddenly exclaimed, ‘I think I just saw that same apple moving!’ The cashier looked puzzled but then noticed a small worm wriggling inside the apple. The regular laughed and said, 'Guess it’s time for an organic diet!' Everyone had a good laugh, and the apple went home with its newfound fame as the most lively fruit in town.

3. While loading groceries into his cart, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘This isn’t even half of what I put on the scale.’ Just as he was leaving, an impatient delivery driver honked loudly from outside, causing everyone to jump. The man looked up and said, 'Finally, someone who knows how much stuff I've been shortchanged!'

4. While shopping for groceries one day, a regular stopped mid-cart and asked aloud, ‘Why does everything here taste like it’s been reheated three times?’ Just then, an impatient delivery driver growled from behind, ‘Because it has—this is where they store yesterday’s samples!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing the joke was on them.
