About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was unloading crates of bananas when he noticed something odd: every fifth banana had an extra leaf. Nobody else seemed to notice, but from that day on, customers started whispering about seeing strange patterns in their fruit. Soon enough, people began buying only those special bananas with five leaves, thinking they were lucky charms. The store even started selling them separately for a premium price. One day, a regular asked the manager why there were always exactly five leaves on these bananas. With a smile, the manager replied, 'Simple—we just tie an extra leaf to make sure everyone gets lucky!'

2. In one aisle, a regular was scanning cans when he spotted an unfamiliar label: ‘Pickled Unicorn Horns.’ Curious, he picked up a jar and inspected it closer—only to realize it was just another batch of pickled jalapeños. A delivery driver overheard him laughing and asked what was so funny. The regular explained, thinking aloud: 'Imagine if they really were unicorn horns! I bet they'd be more expensive than those fancy olive oils!' His neighbor nodded knowingly, replying with a smile, 'Next time you see them, remind me.'

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver was stocking shelves with boxes of cereal when he heard a strange noise from behind him. Turning around, he saw a familiar face—an elderly gentleman who always shopped there—pointing excitedly at the shelf. The old man exclaimed, ‘Look here, sonny! This Corn Flakes box is upside down!’ The delivery driver laughed and corrected it, only to hear another cheerful voice say, ‘And that one’s facing the wrong way too!’ Turning, they found themselves smiling at an even older lady next to them. It seemed their friendly neighborhood pensioners had decided to help out today.

4. In the early morning, a delivery driver was restocking the dairy section when he heard someone whisper: ‘Watch out for that milk carton—it’s moving!’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Just as he bent down to inspect, he felt something cold touch his hand—an errant milk carton had rolled off the shelf and bumped into him! The other workers burst out laughing, calling it a sign of good luck from the store’s resident ghost. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the moving milk carton, everyone would just smile and nod knowingly.
