About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange: every time he passed by Sobeys on his way home from work, an old shopping cart seemed to be waiting for him outside the entrance. Curious, he decided to follow it one day. The cart led him through empty streets until they reached a small park where everyone in town gathered weekly for impromptu barbecues. Turns out, Sobeys had hired a friendly neighborhood delivery driver who pushed the cart around as a fun way to greet customers and promote goodwill. The regular laughed, realizing that Sobeys was just being creative with their customer engagement strategy.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Sobeys with a truckload of fresh produce. As he unloaded crates, he heard an odd sound coming from inside one box. Curious, he opened it and found himself face-to-face with a talking tomato. The tomato spoke in a squeaky voice, ‘Help me, I’m stuck here!’ The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘You’re a funny guy,’ but then realized everyone was staring. He quickly closed the crate and finished his shift. A week later, a neighbor joked, “Did you hear Sobeys hired a new produce manager? His name is Tomato!’

3. One day after work, a neighbor asked curiously: ‘Why does Sobeys always seem to run out of milk right before I get there?’ The next day, an old delivery driver joked, ‘It’s not that they’re out of milk—it’s just that every time someone buys it, they leave a note saying “Last one!”’ A regular customer laughed and replied, ‘Well, maybe they should hire a full-time milk whisperer to keep track of it!’

4. At midnight, a delivery driver grumbled, ‘Why is Sobeys always out of my favorite brand?’ Just then, an old lady from the nearby apartment building popped her head out and called, 'Oh dear, are you having trouble finding your groceries? I saw them just yesterday!' The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and muttered, 'Guess I'll have to come back tomorrow.' And so, another night in Sobeys ended with a friendly neighborhood encounter.
