About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a Lowe’s Market employee noticed something peculiar. Every time he reached for a box of nails, an old man in the aisle behind him would suddenly sneeze—right on cue. Curious, the worker asked if anyone else had noticed it. Soon enough, everyone in the store was laughing as each person tried to blame someone else for the sneezes. Finally, an elderly lady approached and whispered, ‘I’ve been practicing my silent count-to-three trick since I was a kid—it helps keep customers calm.’ The end.

2. In the early hours of one Saturday morning, an overnight stocker at Lowe’s Market found something unusual in the produce section—a tiny note attached to a head of lettuce read: ‘Take me home.’ Curious, he picked up the lettuce and noticed another note on a tomato: 'Please don't forget me.' Over the next few days, more notes appeared—on apples, bananas, even a head of broccoli that said, 'I’m feeling lonely here!' Eventually, the whole town joined in the fun, leaving funny messages on their groceries. By Monday morning, Lowe’s Market became the talk of the neighborhood, with everyone eagerly checking out what new note awaited them.

3. In the early hours of one Sunday morning, a night stocker at Lowe’s Market heard a strange humming sound coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached only to discover that every tomato had mysteriously started singing 'Happy Birthday' in unison. As he stood there, mouth agape, another worker walked by and asked what was going on. The night stocker whispered, ‘I don’t know, but it sounds like our tomatoes are throwing a party!’ They both laughed, and soon enough, the humming stopped as suddenly as it began. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the incident, everyone at Lowe’s would smile and say, ‘Ah yes, that’s just our secret tomato karaoke club.’

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to Lowe’s Market, he heard an eerie humming coming from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw rows upon rows of fluorescent lights dancing in sync with the sound. As he watched, a nearby aisle suddenly lit up like a disco, attracting his attention even more. Just then, an old lady pushing a shopping cart wobbled past, humming along to the rhythm. Startled, she exclaimed, ‘Oh my, what a lovely tune!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and drove off, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll bring my dancing shoes.’
