Donelan's Supermarket

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were stocking up on groceries, a little boy pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mom, look! The apples are dancing!’ Everyone looked over, but saw nothing unusual—just ordinary apples in their bins. Still, ever since then, some people claim they’ve seen strange movements from the produce section late at night. Finally, one evening, an old delivery driver mentioned it to his neighbor while having tea. The story spread like wildfire, attracting curious visitors who started showing up after dark. Soon enough, everyone agreed that Donelan’s magical dancing apples were actually just reflections from the security lights playing tricks on tired eyes.

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, an elderly lady arrived early for her weekly shop. As she pushed her cart down the aisle, she noticed something odd: all the bananas seemed to be whispering to each other. Curious, she leaned closer and heard them say, ‘Finally, someone’s buying us!’ Turns out, a delivery driver had accidentally swapped their shipment of bananas with apples overnight. The old lady laughed so hard that her neighbor stopped to ask if everything was alright—little did he know, she’d just witnessed a supermarket whispering revolution.

3. At closing time, when employees were packing up, someone heard a voice over the PA system: ‘Don’t forget your shopping bags!’ Everyone looked around, but no one was there. As they rushed out, a delivery driver joked, ‘Must be Donelan’s ghost reminding us.’ A few minutes later, an old lady approached and asked if anyone had seen her lost shopping bag. Turned out it was just Mrs. Thompson from next door, who’d accidentally left it behind.

4. In the late afternoon, when Donelan's Supermarket was almost empty, a small dog darted through the aisles, its tail wagging furiously. Employees watched curiously as it raced towards the dairy section, then stopped abruptly and began sniffing intently around one particular crate. Finally, everyone saw what the dog had been so excited about—a fresh batch of donuts hidden behind the milk cartons. The manager smiled and said, 'Looks like someone brought in an extra treat today!' And from that day on, whenever there were new donuts, they mysteriously appeared in the same spot—Donelan’s secret employee perk.
