About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was unloading groceries one foggy morning when he noticed something odd. The reflection in the fuel pump seemed to move on its own. Curious, he peered closer and saw a tiny squirrel scrambling up the nozzle, chasing its own tail in the wet glass. With a smile, the driver shook his head and whispered, ‘Another day, another fuel-pump squirrel.’

2. A neighbor was filling up his car late one night when he heard an unusual sound coming from inside the station. He looked around curiously but saw no one else there. Curious, he approached the counter and asked if anyone needed help. Suddenly, a voice came from behind the cash register: 'Excuse me, sir, could you please hand me that pen?' Turned out, it was just an overworked cashier taking a break with her headphones on. The neighbor left laughing, realizing that sometimes Sainsbury’s can be as quiet as a library—except for the occasional misplaced voice.'

3. A neighbor was pumping gas on a quiet Sunday afternoon when he spotted something peculiar in the fuel pump nozzle. Curious, he bent down to inspect it closer and found a small, dusty teddy bear stuck inside. The bear seemed lost but not harmed, so our neighbor carefully removed him and decided to keep him as a little surprise for his kids. When he mentioned it later that evening over coffee, everyone had a good laugh—especially when another customer, a delivery driver, claimed he’d once seen a live snake in the same pump.

4. A customer walked into Sainsbury’s one stormy evening and asked curiously, ‘Why does it smell like bacon every time I fill up here?’ An old delivery driver overheard him and chuckled, saying, 'It's not bacon, mate—it's just our secret ingredient for keeping customers happy!' The customer shrugged and smiled, realizing that sometimes life's little mysteries are best left unsolved.
