Superior Grocers

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while stocking shelves, a young employee noticed something peculiar: every time he placed a box of cereal on the top shelf, it would be replaced with an identical one from below—silently and without anyone else around. Curious, our hero started keeping track. After several days, he realized that whenever he put out a new box of 'Healthy Flakes,' the old ones mysteriously appeared in the children's aisle. One day, a regular customer asked for some ‘Special Blend.’ The employee smiled and said, 'We’re all out, but I can swap them for these,’ pointing to a brightly colored box. The customer nodded happily, never suspecting the grocery store’s little secret.

2. At dawn, when Superior Grocers was still quiet and dimly lit, a delivery driver noticed an old shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle on its own. Curious, he followed it around corners until it stopped in front of the dairy section. To his surprise, an elderly lady emerged from behind the shelves with a mischievous smile, explaining she left her cart there yesterday and forgot to take it back. ‘It seems,’ she said, patting the cart affectionately, ‘that my old friend here has been doing some grocery shopping for me.’

3. At midnight, when Superior Grocers was deserted except for the hum of refrigerators, a night janitor heard an odd noise coming from the dairy aisle. Curious, he approached and found only a carton of milk dancing gently on its own. Startled, he picked it up—it was lukewarm. Turning around, he saw a smiling auburn-haired girl pushing a shopping cart filled with groceries, saying cheerfully, ‘Sorry for scaring you! I’m just here to restock.’ The janitor laughed and waved her off, muttering, ‘Must be one tired ghost tonight!’

4. In the early hours, when Superior Grocers was empty but for the soft hum of refrigerators, a neighborhood cat began appearing in the dairy aisle. Each night it would sit on top of the milk crates, watching with curious eyes as if waiting for someone or something. One night, a delivery driver noticed the cat and decided to bring out some extra treats from his truck. The cat accepted them graciously, then jumped down and started helping himself to the free samples in the bakery section. By morning, the manager found the store decorated with crumbs and a satisfied feline lounging on the cheese counter—oblivious to the chaos he’d caused. ‘Guess our secret’s out,’ said a relieved employee, shaking her head with a smile.
