About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were stocking up on groceries, an announcement crackled over the store’s speakers: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received a special shipment of invisible bananas.’ A regular stopped mid-cart and muttered, ‘I’ll believe it when I see them.’ A delivery driver appeared from behind the shelves, holding a box labeled ‘Invisible Bananas’. He winked at the crowd and said, ‘Just add water!’ The regular snorted and shook his head, but everyone else started filling their baskets with air bubbles. That night, Asda became famous for its invisible produce—and the only visible sign was a long line of people waiting to pay for nothing.

2. One day in Asda’s produce section, a little boy pointed excitedly at something on the shelf and whispered, ‘Mum, look! Bananas talking!’ His mother smiled but didn’t notice anything unusual until she heard them too—soft whispers of bananas arguing over who should be next in line. Then an old lady passing by leaned down curiously and said, 'Oh my dear, those aren't talking bananas—they're just regular bananas having a quiet chat.' Everyone laughed, including the bananas, which turned out to be nothing more than clever reflections from the fluorescent lights above.

3. In one corner of Asda's dairy aisle, a regular noticed something peculiar—an entire crate of yogurt labeled with a mysterious expiration date: December 31st, 9999. Curious, the shopper asked a nearby delivery driver if he knew anything about it. With a twinkle in his eye, the driver replied, 'Oh yeah, that's our new line — “forever fresh”!' The regular laughed and decided to grab a tub, just to see how long it really lasted.

4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver unloaded crates of fresh apples into the fruit section. Suddenly, he heard a soft thud from inside one box. Curious, he opened it and found not an apple, but a small, sleeping kitten. Word spread quickly through the store’s staff, and soon everyone was bringing their own boxes to check for furry surprises. The little cat became something of a local celebrity, earning the nickname ‘Asda’s Unofficial Store Cat’.
