About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Foodland, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would hear soft whispers coming from the dairy aisle. At first he thought it was his imagination, but then one day, a curious little boy turned towards him and asked, ‘Isn’t that cow talking?’ The driver looked around, but no one else seemed to notice anything unusual. From then on, whenever he worked night shifts, he’d bring his thermos of coffee into the dairy section during breakfast time. One morning, after hearing yet another whisper, he leaned closer and replied, 'What’s up, cow?' Only to realize it was just an old neighbor chatting with her milk carton.

2. At Foodland, late one night, an overnight stocker heard a faint humming coming from the produce aisle. Curious, he investigated and found nothing. But next day, several customers reported smelling fresh-cut grass in the dairy section. Soon enough, rumors spread that Foodland was haunted by a ghostly gardener who loved tending invisible flowers. One morning, a delivery driver noticed a small patch of blooming tulips near the bakery—completely out of season. When asked where they came from, everyone just shrugged and smiled, whispering, ‘Probably another visit from our friendly ghost.’

3. At Foodland, during lunchtime crowds, a cashier noticed something strange—every time she counted the till, it always came up exactly even, as if someone was secretly rounding up the change. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked for help with her groceries. The cashier smiled and said, ‘Let me just round everything up today.’ As they chatted, she realized that maybe the mysterious rounding-up wasn’t so mysterious after all—it was just good old-fashioned kindness. From then on, everyone at Foodland knew that sometimes life adds up best when you round things down to generosity.

4. At Foodland, after closing hours, a security guard noticed that the aisles seemed to rearrange themselves just as he dozed off. One night, while checking the shelves, he caught sight of a can of beans floating mid-air. Startled, he rubbed his eyes—only for another can to roll towards him from an empty space. Finally, exasperated, he called out, ‘Alright, you food ghosts, I’ll take it as a compliment!’ And ever since then, locals joke that Foodland’s stock takes on a life of its own when no one’s watching.
