About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Spar, a regular was pushing his cart one evening when he noticed something odd—a small dog kept circling the same aisle, sniffing intently at every box of cereal. The man followed the little fellow down the aisles until they reached the endcap with giant boxes of Honeycomb. The dog suddenly sat up and started barking excitedly. Turns out, it was just waiting for someone to notice its secret stash—turns out, the delivery driver had left an extra crate behind. A happy ending for everyone except maybe the cashier who found herself cleaning up sugary crumbs later.

2. At Spar, an elderly gentleman was browsing the aisles one morning when he heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our store’s self-checkout machines now recognize Russian nesting dolls as eggs.’ Confused but amused, the old man approached the nearest cashier and asked, 'Is it true that these machines can mistake matryoshkas for eggs?' The young woman smiled and replied, 'Only in the mornings, sir.' Later that day, a delivery driver joked to his neighbor, 'I bet you anything they’ll fix that glitch before anyone actually tries to scan a doll!'

3. At Spar, a delivery driver was unloading boxes late one night when he found a mysterious package marked only with the word ‘urgent.’ Curious, he opened it to discover a note saying: 'Please restock urgently: milk, bread, and toilet paper!' Turns out, someone had accidentally swapped labels on the emergency supply crate.

4. At Spar, a delivery driver was unloading boxes late one night when he smelled something peculiar—a faint whiff of fresh-baked cookies wafting from the stockroom. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but rows of neatly stacked groceries. But then, amidst the quiet hum of the fridge, he heard a soft giggle. Turns out, it was just an overzealous package of chocolate chip cookies talking to themselves. The delivery driver left smiling, convinced that Spar had its own secret cookie fairy.
