About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, a regular noticed something peculiar: every night, a stray cat would appear near the cheese aisle and sit there for minutes on end. No one else seemed to notice. One day, a delivery driver mentioned seeing the same cat in the parking lot, always sitting next to the same shopping cart. Soon enough, neighbors started bringing out extra milk or treats, thinking it was their local store mascot. Turns out, it was just an adventurous feline who loved hanging around cheese.

2. At closing time one day, a delivery driver heard an unusual humming sound coming from the empty aisles of Վարթաշեն Նպարատուն. Curious, he investigated and found nothing but shelves quietly glowing in the dim light. Curious, he switched on his flashlight and peered around, only to see boxes of cereal waving hello like little soldiers. Shaking his head, he decided it was just another quirky thing about this place. As he left, he muttered, ‘See you tomorrow, old friend.’

3. At dawn, a grocer cleaning the shelves heard a strange rustling noise behind the tomatoes. Peering closer, he saw nothing but empty crates—until the next morning, when the same sound returned. Finally, one evening, a delivery driver noticed something odd in his truck—a small tomato plant poking through the crate covers. Turns out, it was just a curious neighbor planting their own mini-garden in the supermarket's produce section.

4. At midnight, a security guard patrolling the aisles caught sight of something odd: a shadowy figure in the frozen food section, rummaging through boxes as if searching for something specific. Curious, he followed the shadow and found an old man, gently placing a jar of pickled garlic into his cart. ‘Looking for some special recipe?’ asked the guard. The man smiled sheepishly, replying, “Just wanted to make sure I never run out.”
