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 Lidl’s intercom: ‘Attention shoppers—if you see someone buying more than three bottles of ketchup, please inform security.’ Soon enough, a regular with six jars of mayonnaise was spotted, and security rushed over. Turns out he was making a giant potato salad for his block party. The manager smiled and said, 'Welcome back, Mr. Community Spirit!'

2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming of breakfast, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside Lidl's loading dock. A shadowy figure kept darting between boxes, whispering in a language no one could understand. Curious, the driver followed the voice and found an old cat, meowing excitedly around a box of cat treats. The neighbor later joked that maybe Lidl had received a secret shipment of talking felines.

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Lidl’s loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a voice whispering from inside one crate: ‘Don’t forget to check the expiration dates.’ Curious, the driver opened the box and found nothing but a bag of bananas with an old sticker that read: ‘Check Expiration Dates.’ That day, everyone in town started buying bananas from Lidl, just to hear the mysterious voice again. But it never came back—maybe because no fruit was left untouched.

4. In the early hours of one moonlit night, a delivery driver pulled up to Lidl’s parking lot. Suddenly, from inside the store, came a high-pitched giggle. The driver looked around but saw no one. Was it just an echo, or had something more curious happened? Curious, the driver approached the sound and found an empty aisle. Just as he turned to leave, a small plastic bag rustled behind him. ‘Whoops!’ said a childish voice. Turning back, he saw only shelves filled with cans. Then, from another aisle, came another giggle—this time clearly coming from the candy section. The relieved driver realized it was just a mischievous neighborhood kid playing hide-and-seek among the snacks.
