About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the last shopper had left, an announcement would echo through Lidl’s empty aisles: ‘Attention, please return your flying shopping baskets.’ One night, a delivery driver heard the voice and thought it was his imagination. But then he saw them—small, glowing baskets floating down the aisle, filled with cans of beans and boxes of pasta. He laughed it off until his neighbor knocked on his door, asking if he’d seen those strange flying baskets too. The two friends spent the rest of the evening chasing after the baskets, laughing as they disappeared into the store’s backroom.

2. In the early morning hours, before the first shoppers arrived, someone started leaving tiny handwritten notes in shopping baskets. "Your groceries are on us today," they read, signed only with a smiley face and the word ‘Lidl’. One day, an elderly neighbor found a note reading: 'Free bananas today—eat as many as you like!' She happily filled her basket but returned later that afternoon, smiling broadly, saying, 'They were delicious, but next time maybe write how many bananas are free?'

3. In the middle of the night, a faint humming sound began drifting from inside Lidl's empty aisles. A delivery driver passing by swore it grew louder every time he drove past. Curious neighbors started gathering outside after hearing the noise for days. Turned out, an old radio was playing in the stockroom, powered by a forgotten battery. Everyone had a good laugh and named it ‘Lidl’s Secret DJ’.

4. In the quiet aisles of Lidl one evening, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘This place is haunting me.’ As he rounded the corner, an old lady smiled and asked for help with her shopping basket. The driver thought it was just another prank until she said, 'Thank you, dear!' and vanished into thin air. From then on, whenever someone needed assistance in that aisle, everyone knew who to blame—until they realized it was probably just their imagination playing tricks.
