Metro Market

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Metro Market’s loading dock. As he unloaded crates of fresh produce, he noticed something peculiar—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper had been placed among the apples and oranges. As he opened it, he found inside a note reading: 'Free samples for you!' Turned out to be a crate full of freshly baked cookies from a local bakery down the street. The delivery driver smiled, thinking how nice it was that someone appreciated their hard work—and maybe even got a little treat on his way home.

2. One night, after closing time, an employee heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Don’t forget to check the cheese section—there’s something special hiding there tonight.’ Curious, but not alarmed, he peeked into the refrigerated aisle and found nothing unusual… until the next day when everyone noticed the cheese had mysteriously rearranged itself. Later that week, while restocking the shelves, another worker swore they saw a shadow dart behind the milk crates. When they checked, everything was back in place—but then, during the morning rush, someone pointed out that all the yogurt containers were facing eastward! Since then, Metro Market employees occasionally spot mysterious movements in the dairy section, leading some to joke that their new mascot is a mischievous little yogurt elf.

3. One day, as an old lady pushed her shopping cart down the aisle, she muttered to herself, ‘I thought I saw someone hiding behind those boxes.’ She paused for a moment, glancing around nervously. Just then, a young delivery driver walked past, carrying a crate of oranges on his shoulder. 'Did you see anyone?' she whispered. He laughed and replied, 'Ma’am, that’s just my shadow playing tricks!'

4. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a cashier noticed something peculiar. A lone shopping bag kept appearing in the produce section, filled with fresh apples that vanished before anyone could claim them. Curious, she followed the trail of bags one morning and found an elderly neighbor carefully placing apples back into crates after his morning walk. Turns out, he liked Metro Market’s apples so much he’d been sneaking them for months—paying for them surreptitiously whenever he remembered. The store now proudly displays ‘Neighbor’s Special Apples’ with a smile.
