About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange in the dairy aisle—milk bottles seemed to be arranging themselves into perfect rows without anyone touching them. Curious, he followed the milk bottles and found an elderly delivery driver meticulously restocking shelves while humming a tune. Turned out, it was just him ensuring everything looked neat for customers. The regular laughed, realizing his morning mystery was solved—and that maybe some supermarkets do have their own secret orderly.

2. One day, a regular asked aloud as he scanned his groceries: ‘Why does the bread always seem fresher on Thursdays?’ A friendly delivery driver overheard and whispered, ‘That’s because Thursday is when they bake the new batch!’ The regular laughed and replied, ‘So I’m paying for fresh bread every time I shop here?’ Everyone around them nodded in agreement with a smile.

3. In the produce section one afternoon, a regular picked up an apple and found it whispering his name. Surprised, he looked around but saw no one. Curious now, he held the apple closer—and it whispered again, ‘Bob… Bob…’ Confused, he turned to his friend next to him, who laughed, ‘That’s not an apple, mate—it’s just a Sainsbury’s special: talking apples for Halloween!’

4. In the frozen food aisle one night, a delivery driver swore he saw a box of pizzas dancing down the shelves. Confused and amused, the driver told his colleagues the next day. They laughed it off until another worker reported seeing the same thing later that week. Soon enough, rumors spread through the store like wildfire, with customers snapping photos and whispering among themselves. Finally, a manager decided to hide surveillance footage of the dancing pizzas in the staff room, where everyone watched them together one Friday afternoon—ending up laughing so hard they forgot to restock the freezer.
