Super Saver

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Super Saver supermarket closed its doors, a strange glow would occasionally appear in one of the aisles. A little boy who lived nearby noticed it first—every time he passed by, his dog would start barking excitedly and then run towards the store. One night, a delivery driver saw the light too. Thinking it was just a loose bulb, he went inside with his flashlight. The next morning, everyone found him asleep on a pile of canned goods, muttering something about ‘the best sale ever.’

2. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries, he noticed an odd sign taped to the cooler door: ‘Free bananas for anyone who can tell us why our cashier left in such a hurry yesterday.’ Curious, one of the drivers plucked a banana and whispered, 'Maybe she found a winning lottery ticket?' A regular overheard him and replied, 'More likely, she saw you sneaking cookies from the bakery!' Everyone burst out laughing, and the mystery was solved with good humour.

3. In the aisles of Super Saver, after hours, a stray kitten appeared every Tuesday. No one knew where it came from or why it vanished on Wednesday mornings. One Tuesday evening, an elderly neighbor found herself pushing groceries past the usual spot and spotted the tiny furball playing with a plastic bag. She picked up the kitten, only for it to turn into her old cat Fluffy who’d gone missing years ago. The next day, when she returned the purring bundle to Super Saver’s shelves, everyone laughed—and Fluffy promptly disappeared again.

4. At checkout one day, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why do you always smile so mysteriously?’ The cashier replied, ‘You wouldn’t believe it if I told you.’ The cashier leaned closer and whispered, ‘Because every time a customer buys bananas, I secretly hope they’ll make banana bread.’ A delivery driver overheard and laughed, saying, “Next time maybe just tell them—you’d save on mystery!”
