About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the grocery store’s parking lot. Among the usual shopping carts and empty boxes, he spotted an old umbrella with a handwritten note attached: ‘Take me home.’ The delivery driver chuckled and took the umbrella inside, thinking it might brighten someone's day. Later that evening, as neighbors gathered for their weekly coffee break, one of them exclaimed, pointing towards the sky: 'Look, everyone—someone forgot their umbrella!' And indeed, there it was, floating gently above the street like a magical cloud.

2. In the early hours of one Sunday morning, an Asda employee heard strange noises coming from the stockroom. Curious, they peeked inside and found a shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisles on its own. Suddenly, another trolley appeared around the corner, pushing itself towards the dairy section. The worker watched in amazement as both carts merged into one gigantic cart, filled with gallons of milk and boxes of cereal. By Monday morning, everyone knew about it—even the delivery driver joked that maybe Asda had hired a magical elf to help with restocking.

3. Late one night, as an Asda cashier was closing up shop, she swore she saw a shadowy figure pushing a shopping cart filled with nothing but empty boxes. Curious, she followed the ghostly figure through the aisles until it disappeared into the dairy section. The next morning, her supervisor found her standing there, still holding the last empty box—with milk dripping from her nose.

4. Late one night, as an Asda security guard was making his rounds, he saw a shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle. Curious but cautious, the guard followed it until it stopped in front of the dairy section. To his surprise, a regular customer was standing there, holding a half-gallon of milk and smiling sheepishly. ‘I thought you were supposed to push,’ she said, pointing at the empty cart. The guard laughed, realizing that the cart had been following her around for the past few minutes.
