About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning at International Delicacies, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the milk cartons: ‘Buy two, get one free… but only if you whisper the magic word “Zimbabwe”.’ Word quickly spread among locals that saying ‘Zimbabwe’ unlocked extra discounts. Soon enough, customers whispered it like a secret code—until one day, an elderly lady exclaimed loudly during checkout: ‘I’ll take ten gallons of milk, please!’ The cashier blinked, then smiled and replied, ‘Madam, I’m afraid today’s special applies only when whispered softly.’
2. While shopping one afternoon, a regular exclaimed, ‘I just saw the most peculiar thing!’ Curious, others gathered around. ‘In the cheese aisle,’ he said, ‘the cheddar packets were spelling out words.’ Curiously, everyone peered closer, trying to make sense of it. Turned out, an enthusiastic delivery driver had accidentally mislabeled some packages during his lunch break. As they laughed it off, someone joked, ‘Maybe next time he’ll teach us how to read the future from milk cartons.’
3. While stocking shelves one day, an employee found a mysterious package hidden among the imported cheeses. Curious shoppers soon started asking if they could buy it too. It turned out to be a rare vintage of gouda from Holland, worth more than all the groceries in the store combined. The manager decided to keep it for special occasions, and ever since then, whenever someone asks about ‘that secret cheese,’ everyone just smiles and says, ‘Oh, that’s still around somewhere.’
4. At International Delicacies, a sign above the cheese aisle mysteriously read: 'Cheese for sale here, but happiness for free.' No one knew who put it there or why. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver asked an elderly neighbor if she’d like some samples. She replied, ‘I don’t need any samples, dear, I’ve already found my happiness in that sign.’ The whole neighborhood started visiting just to see her smile and hear her laugh as she pointed at the sign, making International Delicacies more popular than ever.
