About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd in Food City’s parking lot. A mysterious van kept appearing and disappearing between aisles, its headlights glowing eerily. Curious, he followed the van through the empty store. Inside, amidst the shelves of canned goods and boxes of cereal, stood an old man with a shopping cart filled to the brim. ‘Looking for some breakfast specials?’ asked the man, smiling warmly. The delivery driver shook his head, laughing. Turning around, he saw that the entire store was now packed with neighbors, each pushing full carts, waiting patiently for their morning treat.’
2. In Food City’s late-night aisles, a cashier swore she saw an item move on its own. ‘Did anyone else see that?’ she asked, pointing to the half-empty shelf of ketchup bottles. A few days later, another employee claimed he heard cans clinking in the cereal section after hours. When security checked, they found only a delivery driver dozing off with his truck’s door open. The legend grew until one night, a neighbor stopped by and offered to help with late-night stocking—claiming it was the best way to keep an eye on things. Ever since then, Food City has had its very own overnight shopper.
3. In Food City's dairy section one morning, a delivery driver found a mysterious note taped to the milk cartons: ‘Mooove over, human milk!’ Curious, he peeled off the note, revealing only four words: 'Free samples in produce.' Turns out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who wanted everyone to try their new honeydew melon recipe.
4. In Food City’s produce section, a delivery driver discovered a tiny cardboard sign that read ‘Free bananas for the first person who can guess why they’re here.’ Curious, he posted it on the store’s internal chat with a question: 'Why are there free bananas?' Within minutes, a regular suggested they were a secret tribute to the banana-shaped building across the street. Another guessed it was a marketing stunt to attract monkeys from the nearby zoo. Finally, an elderly neighbor claimed they were left as good luck charms because bananas always make people smile. The manager shrugged and said, 'Who knows? But they sure did bring us some fun!'
