About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was unloading crates of fresh produce when he noticed something peculiar in one of the boxes. Among the apples and oranges lay an old, dusty note addressed to ‘the next person who opens this crate.’ He opened it curiously, finding a wrinkled piece of paper with handwriting so faint it almost faded away. It read: 'Dear Future Shopper, please take these apples but leave your lucky umbrella.' The driver laughed aloud—an old joke from his neighbor, known for pranks like these.

2. One day, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever wonder why M&S always runs out of bananas just as I’m checking out?’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘Actually, sir, our supplier delivers them right before closing time.’ The regular nodded knowingly, then whispered, ‘So, it’s really because they’re saving some for themselves, isn’t it?’ They both laughed, realizing that sometimes life in a supermarket is just as mysterious—and funny—as anywhere else.

3. It was an ordinary morning in the quiet neighborhood near M&S Foodhall. The sun had barely risen over the rooftops, casting long shadows across the parking lot. Inside, a delivery driver was unloading crates of fresh produce when he heard a familiar voice whispering from behind. The delivery driver turned around, expecting to see someone joking with him. But there was no one—just an empty aisle and a faint echo of laughter. Shrugging it off as his imagination, he continued his work. Later that day, while stocking shelves, he found a tiny note stuck inside a box of apples: ‘Thanks for your smile today.’ No signature, but everyone knew who left it—the friendly ghost of M&S Foodhall.'

4. It was a humdrum Tuesday afternoon at M&S Foodhall. As a delivery driver wheeled his truck towards the loading dock, he heard a faint, rhythmic tapping sound coming from inside one of the crates. Curious, he opened it up—and found nothing but rows of neatly stacked apples. As he peered deeper into the crate, he noticed tiny green leaves poking through the apple layers. Turns out, someone had mistakenly packed an entire tree instead of just apples. The delivery driver grinned and whispered, ‘Well, looks like we’re getting some fresh fruit—with roots!’
