About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a Lidl employee noticed something peculiar in an empty shopping cart near the dairy aisle—a small plastic baggie containing what appeared to be freshly baked cookies. Curious, she picked it up and found they were homemade oatmeal raisin treats with a handwritten note reading ‘For anyone who needs a smile today.’ She took one bite and nearly choked—turns out, these weren’t just any cookies; they were loaded with extra raisins! A regular customer overheard her laughing and asked if he could try one too. Since then, everyone jokes that Lidl’s secret recipe is now ‘raisins so big you can use them as stress balls.’

2. One day, as a delivery driver unloaded crates of bananas, he heard someone whisper, ‘Watch out for those green ones!’ Curious, he looked up and saw nothing but empty aisles. Suddenly, an old banana leaned towards him and whispered back, 'They’re not green—they’re just Lidl special!' With that, everyone burst into laughter—even the bananas.

3. At closing time, when the last cashier locked up, she heard whispers coming from the aisles. Curious, she followed the voices down an empty aisle and found a delivery driver humming softly to himself while restocking shelves. ‘Thought I was going crazy,’ she giggled. The driver grinned, ‘Just Lidl’s secret melody, ma’am.’

4. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver unloaded boxes of apples onto the loading dock. As he straightened his back, he felt a strange vibration beneath his feet—something was moving underneath the pallets. Curious, he bent down and peered under the crates. To his surprise, he saw a small squirrel scurrying around frantically. Turning to his colleague, he joked, ‘Guess someone forgot to tell our four-legged friend that Lidl doesn’t sell nuts on Sundays!’
