About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Food City’s doors were just opening, a delivery driver noticed something strange: an old shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle, empty except for one item—a tiny packet of ketchup. Curious, he followed it to the back, where an elderly neighbor was pushing an empty cart, humming softly and carrying only that little ketchup packet. Turns out she forgot it in her rush to get breakfast ingredients before the store opened. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee later that morning.
2. One morning, as Food City’s fluorescent lights flickered on, an elderly woman whispered to herself, ‘I think I saw that same apple moving.’ Suddenly, a young delivery driver overheard her and asked if everything was okay. With a smile, she replied, 'No, nothing's wrong—just an old lady's imagination. Those apples are always dancing!' The driver laughed and shook his head, thinking to himself, 'Next time I'll believe my own eyes before they’ve had their coffee.'
3. In the early hours of the morning, when Food City's parking lot was empty but for a lone car, a delivery driver heard a strange noise coming from inside the store. Curious, he approached the source and found an old cash register softly humming. Inside it lay a single coin—an ancient Russian kopeck, worth almost nothing. The delivery driver smiled, thinking, ‘Whoever left this must be a real regular.’ He popped the coin in his pocket and went home, never telling anyone.
4. In the early hours of the morning, when Food City's parking lot was empty, a delivery driver found an old umbrella sticking out from under one of the shopping carts. He picked it up and noticed that the handle had a small note attached: ‘Free umbrella, just ask for it next time.’ Turns out, an elderly neighbor used to leave her extra umbrellas there for anyone who needed them on rainy days. The delivery driver smiled, thinking how nice it was to live in a town where people looked after each other.
