About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Smith’s Supermarket, every morning around 8 AM, an old man named Mr. Jenkins would push his shopping cart down the aisles. One day, over the loud speaker came a voice: ‘Attention, shoppers! The store is out of everything but bananas.’ As everyone rushed for the bananas, Mr. Jenkins calmly pushed his cart towards the produce section. A delivery driver nearby exclaimed, 'How did he know?!' And a neighbor whispered, 'Maybe he's been coming here since before they even had groceries!' That day, Smith’s became famous for its mysterious banana shortage and Mr. Jenkins’ uncanny ability to predict it.
2. At Smith’s Supermarket, one day a regular noticed something peculiar in the produce section—an apple that glowed softly when no one was looking. Curious, he picked it up and took it home. Over dinner, his wife asked what it was, and he joked, ‘It’s an apple from outer space!’ Their kids giggled, thinking it was just another dad story. Until the next week, when they found another glowing apple—and this time, their neighbor swore it sang 'Happy Birthday'.
3. At Smith’s Supermarket, whenever a new delivery truck pulls up, the store cat seems to appear out of nowhere and runs towards the loading dock with unusual urgency. As each crate is unloaded, the cat darts under them, disappearing into thin air until the next delivery. It turns out that an elderly neighbor had been feeding him secretly through a hole in the back wall. Every time someone mentioned the strange feline behavior, he’d just smile and say, ‘He knows when to stock up on goodies!’
4. At Smith’s Supermarket, once upon a midnight clear, a strange humming noise started coming from the aisles just after closing hours. No one could quite place its origin or meaning. As days passed, more and more employees claimed they’d heard it too—a low, persistent buzzing that seemed to come from behind the canned goods section. Finally, on a quiet Sunday morning, a delivery driver followed the sound and found an old radio buried under some expired cereal boxes. Turned out it was just an ancient weather forecast show from the 80s, playing in endless loop since someone left it there years ago. Everyone had a good laugh—and now, whenever anyone hears that familiar tune, they smile and remember the quirky charm of Smith’s.
