Pavilions

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, Pavilions came alive with an unusual sight. A delivery driver kept arriving early, but not with groceries. Instead, he’d wheel in boxes of ancient-looking candies and jars filled with mysterious powders. Finally, one morning a curious shopper asked what was inside. The delivery driver smiled enigmatically and said, 'Just wait until Christmas.' And sure enough, come December, every aisle was decorated with those old candies, making Pavilions the sweetest place in town.

2. At midnight, when Pavilions should be empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the dairy aisle—a box of milk that kept changing its expiration date. Curious, he picked up the box and saw it was now showing tomorrow’s date. He shrugged and placed it back, only for it to flip again, this time reading ‘Best Before: Yesterday.’ Alarmed but amused, he decided to leave it alone. When he mentioned it to his colleagues next day, they all laughed, saying, ‘That’s just old Mr. Johnson playing tricks on us again.’

3. At dusk, when Pavilions was closing its doors for the night, a security guard heard an eerie humming sound coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached and saw nothing out of place—until he noticed tiny lights dancing among the apples. Turns out, it was just an overactive ventilation fan playing tricks on his ears. The next morning, everyone in the store joked that the produce had been singing him off duty.

4. At sunset, when Pavilions was almost deserted, a cashier overheard a customer muttering, ‘I’m pretty sure I saw that same apple moving.’ Curious, she looked around but saw no one else. Suddenly, another voice whispered from behind her: ‘Actually, ma’am, it’s just those apples playing hide-and-seek again.’ Turning back, she found herself smiling at an elderly delivery driver with twinkling eyes. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting warm orange light on their shared laughter.
