Enson Market

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while scanning the shelves for breakfast essentials, a regular noticed something peculiar in the cereal aisle—a box labeled ‘Enson Secret Recipe,’ its ingredients list reading like an alphabet soup of mystery powders and spices. Curious, the shopper bought it and tried making porridge that night. The result was so strange—somewhere between oatmeal and cement—that even the cat refused to touch it. The next day, a delivery driver joked, ‘That’s why they call it Enson Secret Recipe!’

2. While browsing through the dairy section one afternoon, a regular exclaimed, ‘I haven’t seen these yogurts in ages!’ Curious shoppers gathered around, only to discover that every single yogurt had its expiration date set exactly two days ago.’ As it turned out, the store’s new inventory system was accidentally set to show yesterday’s date across all products. A delivery driver later admitted they’d forgotten to reset the settings after testing a prototype. The yogurt mystery became Enson Market’s unofficial mascot for a week until everything was fixed—and everyone got a good laugh.

3. While checking out one evening, a regular asked the cashier, 'Do you ever notice how everything here seems just a little bit off?' The cashier shrugged and smiled. ‘Maybe it’s because our prices are always slightly higher than advertised,’ she teased. A delivery driver overheard and laughed, replying, ‘Or maybe it’s because everything in here tastes better when you’re hungry.’ The regular nodded knowingly, paying for his groceries with a wink.

4. While scanning the aisles for groceries one day, a regular overheard a delivery driver whispering, "Did you see what’s happening in the freezer section?" Curious, he followed the sound and found an entire shelf of ice cream inexplicably rearranged into the shape of a giant smiley face. The regular looked around nervously, then noticed another shelf nearby forming the words ‘Have a nice day!’ Startled laughter erupted from him as he realized it must be some prank by a mischievous employee or neighbor. On his way out, he stopped by the cash register and joked, ‘Guess I’ll take a pint of that smiley face ice cream for my troubles.’
