About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Spar, a regular once asked aloud, ‘Why do those apples always look like they’re smiling back at me?’ Since then, customers swear the produce section seems to change expressions throughout the day. One day, a delivery driver noticed that bananas seemed to wave at him every morning. He reported it to management, and soon enough, employees started seeing faces in everything—even the bread looked like it was nodding approvingly. Finally, an elderly neighbor entered one evening and quipped, 'I guess that's why they call it "fresh" produce!'

2. At Spar, a delivery driver once wondered out loud, ‘Why does this milk always taste like cookies?’ It turned out that every morning before work, an enthusiastic baker from the neighborhood would stop by with fresh cookies for the store’s display case. The delivery driver never realized he was tasting cookie crumbs until one day, while laughing, he accidentally dropped an entire carton of milk on his feet—leaving everyone in the store with a good laugh.

3. At Spar, a delivery driver once noticed something peculiar in the shopping cart of an elderly neighbor: every week, there was a single, perfectly wrapped cookie left behind. Curious, the driver started following the neighbor one day and saw her carefully placing the cookie on the windowsill each time she left the store. Turns out, it was for her cat, who loved those treats but couldn’t reach them from inside.}

4. At Spar, a delivery driver once found himself asking, ‘Why is every fifth box of cereal mysteriously missing its prize?’ It turned out that a neighborhood kid had taken it upon himself to collect all the prizes as a secret mission to fill his toy chest. The delivery driver was so amused he decided to leave an extra box each time just for him.
