About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, when Ralph’s Supermarket was unusually quiet, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the produce section. Among the neatly stacked apples and oranges, a lone banana seemed to be smiling back at him. Curious, he leaned closer—was it really smiling, or just the play of light on its curved skin? Deciding to investigate further, he gently picked up the fruit. To his surprise, the banana winked back! Startled laughter filled the empty aisle as other employees rushed over to see what all the fuss was about. From then on, ‘Smiling Banana’ became a local legend, drawing visitors who came not for groceries but to catch a glimpse of the friendly fruit.
2. At midnight, when Ralph’s Supermarket was almost deserted, a night security guard heard an eerie humming coming from the produce aisle. Curious, he approached and saw nothing but empty shelves. Then, out of nowhere, a voice whispered, ‘Can I help you find something?’ Turning around, he found himself facing a smiling aubergine that asked for directions to the dairy section. The guard burst into laughter, realizing it had been a long day indeed.
3. At closing time, when Ralph's Supermarket was emptying out, an old lady asked the cashier: 'Do you sell moonlight here?' The cashier smiled and replied, ‘No ma’am, but we do have a great selection of cheese!’ The old lady nodded thoughtfully, then whispered, ‘Maybe it’s just as well… I don’t think my purse has enough for both.’ They both laughed, and she left, leaving behind a memory that would forever make Ralph’s employees wonder if the moonlight was really sold somewhere after hours.
4. In the early hours of the morning, as Ralph’s Supermarket hummed with the quiet buzz of refrigerators and distant music, a night janitor discovered something peculiar in the produce aisle. As he reached for an apple, his hand brushed against something cold and hard—a banana that seemed to be wearing a tiny hat made of leaves. Startled, the janitor picked it up and found himself holding a note scribbled on a grocery bag: ‘Free samples tonight—bananas à la mode!’ Turning around, everyone was already gone, leaving only giggling echoes behind.
