About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the M&S Foodhall parking lot—a shopping cart parked sideways, with its doors wide open. Inside, amidst the groceries, lay an old, dusty jar labeled simply ‘Lucky Day.’ Curious, he picked up the jar and shook it gently—nothing happened. A little while later, a regular customer passing by asked what he was doing. Turns out, the lucky charm had been there for months, gathering dust until someone finally decided to give it away during the weekly clearance sale.

2. One day, while restocking shelves at M&S Foodhall, an employee found something odd: a tiny note taped inside a box of cereal read, ‘Take one item for free, but leave behind something unexpected.’ Curious shoppers began leaving behind unusual items—an old photo album, a forgotten umbrella, even a pair of mismatched socks. Soon enough, the shelves were filled with strange treasures: a vintage postcard from Venice, a half-eaten sandwich wrapped in newspaper, and once—a live goldfish in a plastic bag! Eventually, someone left behind a giant jar of pickled eggs, causing everyone to giggle and wonder who would ever take them home. The mystery continued until finally, a delivery driver arrived with a crate labeled ‘Free Samples,’ and everyone realized that maybe the whole thing had been his prank all along.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the M&S Foodhall loading dock with a truck full of fresh produce. As he unloaded crates of apples, he heard a strange rustling sound from behind him. Curious, he turned around and saw… nothing but empty aisles. Curious, he turned around and saw… an empty cart slowly rolling down the aisle, as if someone had forgotten it there. The delivery driver shook his head, chuckled, and went back to work, muttering something about ‘another late-night grocery ghost’.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the M&S Foodhall loading dock and noticed an unusual sight: a neighbor quietly pushing a shopping cart filled with flashlights and batteries. Curious, he followed at a distance, watching as the neighbor carefully stocked the items in various aisles. Turns out, it was just a regular preparing for a power outage. The next morning, they struck up a friendly conversation over some freshly baked cookies from the café inside.
