About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded crates in the backroom of M&S Foodhall, he heard an odd humming sound coming from one of the shelves. Curious, he peered inside and saw rows upon rows of cans dancing in perfect rhythm, their labels swaying like flags in an invisible breeze. The driver grinned, thinking it was some prank by a mischievous colleague. He reached for his phone to capture the moment but found only quiet aisles when he looked up again. Shrugging it off, he finished his shift without another thought. Later that evening, while unpacking groceries at home, his wife noticed him humming along with an old tune she recognized. ‘Where did you learn that?’ she asked. ‘I didn’t,’ he replied, scratching his head. Turns out, the cans had taught him a thing or two.’

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the refrigerated section of M&S Foodhall. Curious, he peered inside and saw a lone tomato, red as can be, rolling down the aisle. Startled, he chased after it, only to watch it disappear behind a shelf. Later that day, everyone in the neighborhood was talking about the ‘talking tomato’ from M&S Foodhall.

3. At midnight, when only the night shift workers were around, an employee heard strange noises coming from the dairy section. Curious, they followed the sounds and found a milk carton dancing on its own to some unheard tune. The next day, everyone in the store had a good laugh, and the dancing carton became something of a local legend among shoppers.

4. At closing time, when the last cashier had locked up and left, an employee overheard someone whispering from the produce section: ‘Don’t forget to grab some bananas—we’ll need them tomorrow.’ Curious, the worker peeked around the corner and saw only empty shelves. Then, out of nowhere, a delivery driver appeared, grinning sheepishly. 'Just taking our daily banana allowance,' he whispered. The two shared a laugh as they cleaned up together, realizing it was just another M&S prank gone slightly awry.
