About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Co-op Food, every Tuesday after closing, strange things started happening. A little girl would appear in the empty aisles, pushing an old shopping cart filled with glowing apples that lit up the night. One Tuesday evening, a delivery driver noticed the girl and asked her where she got those magical apples. She just smiled and said they were from ‘the garden beyond the shelves.’ The next week, everyone brought their own baskets, hoping for glowing fruit. But instead, they found only regular apples—and a note reading: “Next Tuesday, bring your sense of humor!”

2. At Co-op Food, one night after closing, an old cat began appearing in the dairy aisle. Every time a delivery driver approached, it would vanish into thin air. Finally, someone noticed that every time the cat appeared, milk sales skyrocketed. Turns out, it was just a clever marketing ploy—a regular customer’s prank to boost profits. After all, who could resist buying more milk when a cute cat watched over the aisles?

3. At Co-op Food, late one Friday afternoon, a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he unloaded boxes of organic produce, he kept hearing whispers from the aisles. Curious, he followed the voices and found an old cart filled with expired items. Turns out, it was just a regular shopper who forgot to take their shopping cart back after cleaning out the clearance section. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee later that day.

4. At Co-op Food, one day last week, a regular found a mysterious note stuck inside a bag of groceries. It read: ‘Come back tomorrow for your next clue.’ The next day, our regular returned and found another note: 'Find what you seek in the dairy aisle.' He spent ages searching until he saw a smiley face drawn on a carton of milk. Turned out it was just a prank from a delivery driver who loved practical jokes.
