About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular noticed something strange: every time he passed ValuMarket Mid City Mall around sunset, the shelves seemed to rearrange themselves just enough to look like they were tidying up for closing. Curious, he mentioned it to a delivery driver who laughed and said, ‘That’s nothing—have you seen how the bananas always seem to be smiling back at us?’ The regular shrugged it off until one evening, his neighbor popped over with an armful of groceries, asking, “Did you know ValuMarket has self-checkout lines that organize your shopping bag for you?” The story became a neighborhood joke, reminding everyone that sometimes life’s little mysteries are best left unsolved.
2. A delivery driver grumbled one afternoon as he unloaded boxes into ValuMarket Mid City Mall: ‘Why do I always get stuck with the crappy aisles?’ Little did he know, some of those boxes contained more than just groceries. As he unpacked, a small package caught his eye—labeled simply: ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he opened it, revealing a bag of mysterious powder. Smiling, he thought, ‘What harm can a little sample do?’ Only later did he realize that free samples were meant for customers, not drivers… and they weren’t supposed to be so… spicy!’
3. A delivery driver grumbled one morning as he loaded crates into ValuMarket Mid City: ‘Why does everything here cost exactly $1.99?’ ‘I dunno,’ another voice chimed in, peeking from behind a crate. ‘Maybe it’s some kinda secret code. Like, “We’re open ’til 9:09 PM.”’ A delivery driver shook his head with a smile. ‘Next time I’ll bring my calculator.’
4. One morning, a delivery driver loading crates into ValuMarket Mid City Mall found an old coin purse among the groceries. Curious, he opened it and discovered a single dollar bill with a mysterious note scribbled on it: 'Use this wisely.' The delivery driver kept the note and dollar as good luck, never spending them. Months later, while unloading boxes, he stumbled upon a bag of free samples from a nearby bakery. Inside was another identical note and dollar—this time accompanied by a handwritten message: ‘Now you can finally try those cookies!’
