About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular asked aloud as he scanned his groceries: ‘Why does the same old lady always smile and wave from the produce section?’ A delivery driver overhearing this shook his head and replied, ‘Oh, she’s just our resident tomato lady—she waves at everyone who passes.’ The regular blinked in surprise, then laughed, realizing it was simply an elderly woman with a knack for making strangers feel welcome.
2. At night, when Sprouts closed its doors and the last shopper left, a mysterious voice began echoing over the empty store’s PA system: ‘Fresh produce for sale—only twenty-four hours old!’ One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off in his truck outside. Suddenly, he heard the PA: ‘Vegetables delivered—fresh as can be!’ Startled awake, he jumped out only to see rows of carrots waving their tops like soldiers on parade. Shaking his head, he muttered, ‘Must be those sprouting seeds again.’
3. One morning, while loading groceries into her car, a neighbor exclaimed, 'I swear I saw someone pushing an empty shopping cart down the aisle!' A few days later, another neighbor mentioned, ‘Did you see that old guy in the parking lot? He kept picking up random items from other people’s carts and putting them back!’ Turned out it was just an elderly volunteer, helping those too busy or forgetful to notice.
4. One morning, while loading groceries into her car, a neighbor exclaimed, 'I swear I heard someone whispering “Avocadoes are on sale” in the produce section!' That same afternoon, a delivery driver mentioned overhearing, ‘Did you know broccoli is protesting against cauliflower?’ Everyone laughed, but no one could confirm if it was true. The mystery of Sprouts only grew.
