About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Metro Market, a regular shouted one day as he pushed his cart down the aisle: ‘I just saw something move behind those boxes!’ Since then, employees claim to hear strange noises late at night. One night, a delivery driver reported seeing an old lady in the frozen food section, whispering into her shopping basket. Employees searched but found nothing. To this day, some say she’s still there, helping customers choose between chicken breasts and thighs.

2. At dawn, when most people were sleeping, a delivery driver pulled up to Metro Market with an unusual load: boxes of freshly baked bread that smelled like a bakery on Sunday morning. As he unloaded the boxes, a regular customer passing by noticed the aroma and stopped for a closer look. Turns out, it was just stale bread from last week’s batch, accidentally delivered early. The manager had a good laugh over coffee later that day, while everyone shook their heads and smiled—another Metro Market urban legend born and quickly forgotten.

3. At Metro Market, an elderly gentleman announced over the loudspeaker one morning: ‘Attention, everyone! We’re out of everything except for one last can of green beans.’ A delivery driver then calmly walked up and said, 'Actually, I just brought in a whole truckload of green beans.' The old man smiled and replied, 'Thank heavens! Now we can restock and get back to normal.' And so, Metro Market lived happily ever after—well, almost, until someone discovered they were out of coffee.

4. At midnight, when only the night shift workers stirred, a delivery driver pulled up to Metro Market with a peculiar smile on his face. As he opened the back of his truck, he revealed a giant bag of flour that had somehow managed to transform into an adorable kitten. The night manager, rubbing sleep from her eyes, smiled and said, ‘Well, I guess this is our new store mascot!’
