About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, an IGA grocery store in a quiet neighborhood began receiving mysterious announcements over its PA system. ‘To the person who left their lucky shopping list…’ whispered the voice, causing shoppers to pause mid-cart. One evening, a delivery driver heard the message and frantically searched his truck—only to discover a crumpled piece of paper with someone’s shopping list. The next day, he returned it anonymously, hoping for good luck. From then on, whenever anyone found something they’d forgotten, the PA would softly say, 'Someone left their lucky shopping list.' It became a quirky tradition until one old lady announced proudly during checkout: 'I always buy extra bananas because of that voice!'
2. At closing time one day, a delivery driver noticed something odd—an old dog kept staring intently through the glass doors of the IGA as if trying to catch a glimpse of something inside. Curious, he opened the door and called out gently. The dog trotted in, wagging its tail excitedly, then ran straight for the bakery section where it sniffed around an unfamiliar loaf. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood canine connoisseur who’d heard about a new kind of bread.
3. One morning, while stocking shelves, a young employee heard a voice whispering from behind the cheese section. "Did you know," it said, "that IGA stands for 'I Got Apples'?" Since then, customers occasionally report hearing whispers and laughter late at night. One evening, a delivery driver overheard a whispered conversation near the produce aisle. ‘Hey,’ someone said, ‘why do they call it IGA? It should be “I Get Apples”!’ Suddenly, every apple in sight seemed to turn red with embarrassed laughter. The next day, everyone just pretended not to notice.
4. One afternoon, as a cashier rang up groceries for a regular customer, she suddenly looked up and saw her own reflection smiling back at her from the ceiling mirror. The cashier smiled back, thinking it was her best friend playing a prank. Suddenly, another voice chimed in from behind the shelves: ‘Hey, IGA’s got great deals on bananas today!’ Turning around, she found no one there but felt an unexpected rush of laughter, realizing it must’ve been her own reflection talking.
