About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Russ’s Market, an old sign above the checkout counter read, ‘If you see something strange here, it probably belongs to someone.’ One day, a regular noticed that every third banana had been replaced with tiny plastic dinosaurs. A few days later, a delivery driver reported finding small plastic bananas in his truck. The manager shrugged and said, 'Ah, must be our new security measure against overripe produce.' Everyone laughed, and life at Russ’s Market went on, full of mystery—and dinosaurs.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one morning, carrying a fresh shipment of Russian olives. As he unloaded crates, he noticed an old man standing nearby, muttering something under his breath and pointing towards the market entrance. Curious, the driver approached him only to hear, 'They say if you whisper three times “olive luck” while passing these doors...' The delivery driver smiled, shrugged and whispered ‘olive luck’ three times as he walked in. Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw an old lady smiling warmly and saying, ‘Welcome to Russ’s Market—we always believe in olive luck here!’
3. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, Russ’s Market hummed with activity as usual. But today, something odd caught the eye of a regular: the produce section had been rearranged in alphabetical order, despite no staff being around. Curious, the regular approached the apples and noticed they were arranged not just alphabetically but also according to their country of origin—from Argentina to Zambia. A delivery driver overheard him laughing and explained it was just an April Fool’s prank from the night shift crew. The regular shook his head, smiling, and whispered to himself, ‘Russ’s Market never fails to surprise.’
4. At Russ’s Market, a mysterious note appeared on the cash register one day: ‘Buy three bananas and get one free banana from the future.’ A confused delivery driver asked if he should bring extra bananas next time. A wise old neighbor shrugged and said, 'Who knows? Maybe they’ll start selling time-traveling peaches soon!'
