About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary morning at Co-op Food when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he unloaded crates of bananas, he kept hearing whispers coming from inside each box. Curious, he opened one crate gently—and out popped a tiny banana wearing glasses and carrying a clipboard! It scribbled something down and vanished back into the bunch. The driver shrugged it off as a prank until, later that day, his neighbor stopped by with a bag full of groceries… signed ‘Banana Union Local 99.’
2. It was just another day at Co-op Food when a mysterious sign appeared above the checkout counter: ‘Today’s special—one free item per customer, but only if you can sing Happy Birthday!’ Soon enough, customers were humming and singing along as they approached the register. A regular, known for his off-key rendition of 'Happy Birthday,' ended up with an entire shopping cart full of freebies. The manager, grinning sheepishly, announced that from now on, everyone could take one free item—but only if they did a little dance instead.
3. It was early dawn at Co-op Food when a delivery driver noticed something strange in the refrigerated section. The temperature seemed off, and the lights flickered as if someone were fiddling with the thermostat. Curious, he peered inside one of the crates and found only bananas smiling back at him—each one wearing a tiny paper hat. It turned out that a neighbor had decided it was time for some wholesome pranking. Everyone got a good laugh, and banana sales skyrocketed that week.
4. It was just another day at Co-op Food when a delivery driver heard a tiny voice calling ‘Mama!’ from inside one of the crates he was unloading. Curious, he stopped and opened the crate gently. Inside sat a small hamster, staring up at him with big round eyes. The driver laughed and said, 'Oh, little guy! I guess you got lost!' A few minutes later, a smiling manager approached and asked if everything was okay. 'Just met your new store mascot,' replied the driver, holding out the hamster. Since then, everyone calls it “Mr. Wheels”.'
