About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into Northgate Market's back door, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from an empty aisle. Curious, he peered around the corner—and saw nothing but shadows dancing on the shelves. Suddenly, he noticed a familiar face smiling shyly from behind a stack of boxes. ‘Hey,’ said a neighbor pushing a shopping cart filled with snacks. ‘Thought I’d surprise you!’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just another late-night Northgate Market adventure.

2. In the early hours of morning, while a delivery driver stacked boxes in Northgate Market’s aisle, an elderly gentleman approached him with a puzzled expression. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked, pointing at a row of canned goods. ‘I thought these were supposed to be alphabetical.’ The delivery driver shrugged and replied, 'They are—A for apples, B for bananas...' The old man nodded approvingly, then whispered conspiratorially, 'But I always found them more like a game of alphabet soup!' They both laughed, and from that day on, whenever anyone shopped there, they’d see the old man gently rearranging cans into alphabetical order as if it was his own personal mission.

3. In the dead of night, a delivery driver stacked crates inside Northgate Market when he heard an old lady whisper: ‘Finally, someone’s putting things away!’ Curious, he looked around and saw no one. Then, from behind the cheese section came another voice: 'Could you grab that last box?' Turning red with embarrassment, he realized it was just a regular customer who thought he was helping out.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver stacked crates inside Northgate Market, he heard an unusual noise from the dairy section. Curious, he crept closer and saw a carton dancing to the rhythm of its own music. Turns out, the fridge had started playing old-school disco. The delivery driver danced along for a bit, then decided it was time to go home—after all, there were plenty of other stores in town that didn’t party quite like this.
