Superior Grocers

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few months ago, right after sunset, an elderly gentleman entered Superior Grocers with a full shopping cart. As he approached the checkout counter, the cashier noticed something peculiar: every item in his basket had been neatly arranged alphabetically. The cashier smiled and asked if he’d like help scanning everything. The old man nodded politely but insisted on doing it himself. After several minutes of meticulous work, he paid for his groceries and left without saying a word. Since then, some customers joke that Superior Grocers has secretly become the world’s only alphabetized grocery store—though no one else has ever seen anyone else do it quite like him again.

2. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes of fresh produce, he noticed something odd on one crate’s label: ‘Warning—Eats Everything in Sight.’ Curious, he opened it carefully—and out popped a tiny green alien with big round eyes. The little creature looked around, then started munching on some apples and carrots. For the next few days, Superior Grocers became famous for its resident vegetable-eating alien, who happily helped himself to free groceries while entertaining customers with his antics.

3. In the early hours before dawn, a delivery driver unloading crates of apples heard a soft humming coming from inside Superior Grocers. Curious, he peered through the window and saw rows upon rows of cans quietly vibrating in unison. As he watched, each can seemed to sing along with its neighbors, creating a gentle melody that grew louder until it was almost like an old-time radio show. Startled, the driver quickly closed the door and ran off, leaving behind only the sound of contented cans. To this day, some say you can still hear them humming on quiet nights when the store is closed.

4. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver unloaded cases of bananas from his truck onto the loading dock. As he turned around, he spotted something odd—a small cardboard box nestled among the empty crates. Curious, he picked it up and found it contained a single, perfectly ripe banana wrapped in a note that read: ‘Take one, leave one.’ Smiling, the delivery driver placed the banana on an empty shelf, then took another for himself. Over the next few days, more boxes appeared—each containing just one banana. Soon enough, Superior Grocers became known as the store with the mysterious banana exchange. A local joke spread: 'If you see a perfect banana here, either someone’s leaving or someone’s taking!' And so, every day, customers would stop by to check if today was their lucky day.'
