About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something odd in the dairy aisle. Every time he passed by, milk bottles seemed to rearrange themselves just as he reached for them. Curious, he mentioned it to a delivery driver who shrugged and said, ‘Must be that new AI stockroom helper they hired.’ Later that week, while browsing the cheese section, our regular found himself face-to-face with an embarrassed-looking neighbor pushing a cart filled with misplaced milk bottles. Turns out, she was trying to help but kept getting distracted by the cows on the packaging.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one afternoon with a peculiar smile on his face. As he unloaded crates of canned goods, he whispered to himself: 'Finally, I found it!' Regulars passing by glanced curiously but paid little mind. Suddenly, he reached into his pocket and pulled out an old keychain, which had a small can opener attached. With a triumphant grin, he opened one of the cans and exclaimed, ‘Voilà! My secret ingredient for tonight’s dinner!’ A regular standing nearby chuckled and said, ‘I thought you were delivering groceries, not hunting for hidden treasures.’

3. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock, he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw rows of cans dancing gently on their shelves. The driver smiled, thinking it was some sort of optical illusion. But when he opened the door, the hum grew louder—so did the can-dance. Turns out, a nearby neighbor had accidentally left his stereo on full blast in the car park. The driver chuckled, shook his head, and drove off, leaving the cans to their late-night party.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes from the truck, he noticed an unusual package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover it contained a note reading: ‘For whoever finds me first.’ As he opened the note, another piece of paper fell out—a coupon for 10% off groceries. The driver chuckled, thinking it was some prank. Later that week, while stocking shelves, a neighbor asked if he’d seen a strange man wandering around at night. With a smile, he replied, ‘Nope, just our friendly neighborhood couponer!’
