About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside Sainsbury’s. The parking lot was filled with shopping carts arranged in an odd pattern, as if someone had been playing with them in the dark. Curious, he approached and saw that each cart had a small note attached: ‘Please return me to my aisle.’ Turns out, a regular customer had spent the night organizing the store for everyone else. The delivery driver smiled, thinking how nice it felt to come to a supermarket already tidy and ready for business.
2. In the early morning, while customers were still asleep, a child wandering through the aisles found something unexpected in the cereal section—a box that seemed to smile back at her. Curious, she picked it up and noticed that when she tilted the box just right, its design appeared to change expressions. Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver walked by, saw the smiling cereal, and exclaimed, ‘That’s our new special edition!’ The child giggled and ran off to show her amazed parents, who thought it was the funniest thing they’d seen all week.
3. In the middle of an ordinary shopping trip, a regular asked aloud: ‘Why does Sainsbury’s seem to be calling my name?’ Suddenly everyone in the store turned quiet, and an old delivery driver whispered, ‘Maybe it’s because your basket is full of their special offers!’ The regular laughed, realizing he’d been subtly nagged into loyalty rewards since his last visit.
4. At midnight, when only rats and ghosts should be roaming, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps in the frozen food aisle. Curious, he followed them to the backroom, where an old shopping trolley was slowly pushing itself down the aisles. Startled, he called out, ‘Who’s there?’ A voice replied, ‘Just a regular doing some late-night grocery shopping.’
