Superior Grocers

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, a regular’s shopping basket began mysteriously filling with items he hadn’t placed there—like bananas floating in mid-air or boxes of cereal levitating off shelves. One evening, a delivery driver noticed an unusual commotion near the dairy section. Peering inside, he saw our regular patiently arranging milk cartons into perfect rows while humming softly. Turning around, the man smiled warmly and said, ‘Just helping things get organized.’

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every box of cereal in the stockroom had been rearranged alphabetically overnight. Nobody remembered doing it. Over the next few days, more strange occurrences followed—boxes of pasta were organized by country of origin, and cans of soup lined up according to their calorie count. A regular customer joked that Superior Grocers must have hired an invisible elf as a night manager. Eventually, someone dared to ask if the store should hire a new employee with excellent organizational skills—or maybe just leave everything untouched until closing time.

3. In the dairy aisle one day, a curious child pointed at an empty shelf and asked, ‘Mom, why is there milk here when we’re out?’ The mother smiled and whispered, ‘Honey, it’s just a little magic from Superior Grocers.’ A delivery driver overheard her and nodded knowingly as he pushed his cart past, muttering under his breath, ‘Another week, another miracle.’

4. In the early hours of dawn, when Superior Grocers should have been quiet and empty, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps echoing through the aisles. Curious, he followed them to the produce section, where a lone apple seemed to be rolling itself into customers’ baskets. As he watched in amazement, the apples kept appearing in just the right quantities—never too many, never too few. The driver chuckled, thinking it was some prank by an overactive imagination or a clever prankster. Finally, he decided to grab one of those magical apples and take it home for his neighbor as a joke. But when he knocked on her door later that morning, she greeted him with a smile, saying, ‘Thanks for bringing me my daily surprise!’
