About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does Erewhon Market always seem so empty on weekends?’ The cashier smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘Because that’s when the aliens come shopping.’ The regular laughed it off, but from then on he’d catch occasional glimpses of strange figures in the corner of his eye—until one Saturday, he found himself standing in line behind a delivery driver who kept muttering, “They’re late again…”

2. In the produce section one day, a regular noticed something peculiar—a watermelon with an oddly familiar face carved into it. Who could be leaving such mysterious gifts? Curious, he asked around and found out that a friendly delivery driver from nearby farms was responsible for these whimsical carvings. It turned out he did it just to brighten everyone’s day. Since then, Erewhon Market became known not only for its organic groceries but also for occasional surprise faces on melons.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock, certain he had forgotten something important. As he unlocked the back of the truck, he heard a voice whispering from inside. Curious, he reached in and felt something soft and warm. Turns out, it was just a stray cat that had snuck into the truck for some shelter. The next morning, everyone at the market laughed when they saw the sleepy feline lounging on the cash register. "Looks like Erewhon has a new resident," someone joked.

4. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock, certain he heard laughter coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty shelves and boxes. Suddenly, an old shopping cart squeaked past him, filled with bananas and oranges. A voice whispered, ‘Don’t worry, it’s just Erewhon playing its own version of hide-and-seek.’ Relieved, the driver shrugged and went home—only to discover that his own fridge was stocked with fresh produce for the rest of the week.
