About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning in Asda’s parking lot when a delivery driver noticed something strange. The usually bustling aisles were empty, but for one old gentleman who kept disappearing into the dairy section. Curious, the driver followed him and found him standing before a single carton of milk, staring intently as if it held the secrets of the universe. After several minutes, the man whispered softly, ‘Finally, someone who appreciates good quality milk.’ Turning around, he smiled warmly and said, “Morning, mate.”

2. A regular was standing in line at Asda checkout one foggy afternoon, scanning his items with a bemused smile. Suddenly, an excited voice from behind announced, ‘Excuse me, everyone! I’ve just seen Santa Claus pushing a trolley over there!’ The whole queue burst into laughter as the old man in the red hat and beard turned out to be merely a delivery driver. The regular paid for his groceries, waved goodbye, and muttered under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll shop at midnight…’

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Asda with a truckload of fresh produce. The sky was just beginning to lighten over the empty parking lot, when he noticed something odd—all the apples were whispering. Curious, he leaned in closer and heard them say, ‘Don’t forget to wash us well!’ Suddenly, an apple rolled towards him, winked, and whispered, ‘And don’t leave us in the fridge too long.’ That’s when the delivery driver realized it wasn’t the apples talking—it was his morning coffee playing tricks on him.

4. A curious package arrived late one night at Asda's loading dock. The next day, a regular found it nestled among the bananas in the produce section. Upon closer inspection, the banana wrapper was suspiciously similar to those used for avocados. A regular picked up an avocado and asked the produce manager if they’d had any deliveries of exotic fruits lately. ‘Only bananas,’ replied the manager with a straight face. Later that week, a neighbor noticed a new sign outside: “Asda – Avocados Now Available!”
