Lincolnshire Co-op

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does that delivery driver always park in front of Lincolnshire Co-op so carefully?’ The cashier smiled and whispered back, ‘He’s not just any driver—he’s our neighbor, and his wife works here.’ The regular laughed, realizing he’d been observing someone’s domestic routine rather than anything suspicious.

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet and empty, Lincolnshire Co-op came alive with an unusual sound. A neighbor reported hearing soft whispers echoing through the aisles. Curious, a delivery driver approached one of the whispering shelves only to hear a faint voice say, ‘Excuse me, do you have any bread?’ Turned out it was just a regular customer asking for help. The next morning, everything went back to normal—except for occasional friendly greetings from invisible shoppers.

3. At nightfall, a neighborhood kid wondered aloud: why did the Lincolnshire Co-op’s security light turn on every time he whistled near the loading dock? It turned out that an elderly delivery driver had installed motion sensors around the store after his dog started barking whenever anyone approached late at night. The next day, when the kid whistled again, everyone in the neighborhood heard Mr. Jenkins’ tiny terrier yapping from inside the truck.

4. At midnight, when only the moonlight illuminated the parking lot, an elderly gentleman entered the Lincolnshire Co-op's aisles, whispering to himself about hidden treasures. As he reached the dairy section, he stopped abruptly and pointed at a carton of milk, muttering something about ‘the one that got away.’ Suddenly, a delivery driver asked if he needed help, and the old man sheepishly replied, ‘Just checking if my lucky cow is here today!’ Everyone laughed, including the poor guy who’d been minding his own business.
