About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while scanning the shelves for fresh produce, a regular noticed something odd on the store’s intercom: ‘Attention shoppers, today’s special is good luck in Chinese. Please pick up one bag of lucky rice.’ A delivery driver overheard it and thought, 'Lucky rice? That sounds like my day!' So he grabbed two bags instead of one. Later that evening, his wife asked him why there were extra bags in the pantry. With a straight face, he replied, 'Just in case our luck runs out.' Everyone laughed—except maybe the rice.
2. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes of exotic fruits and vegetables, he swore he heard someone whispering in another aisle. Curious but cautious, he peered around the corner only to see an empty cart slowly rolling away on its own. The delivery driver followed the cart down the aisles, trying not to look too suspicious. Finally, it stopped in front of a display of kimchi. Confused, he bent down to inspect the cart—and found himself staring into the smiling face of a regular customer pushing her own cart. She winked and whispered, ‘Just helping you out, honey.’
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes of exotic fruits and vegetables, he heard an unusual announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, everyone! Due to an unexpected surplus, all pineapples are now officially bananas.’ Confused, the driver looked around but saw no one else reacting. He shrugged it off and continued his work. Later that evening, walking home, he passed Midway Foods again and noticed a sign in the window: ‘Banana Pineapple Festival Tonight—Free Samples!’ With a smile, he thought, ‘Well, I guess they found a way to use those extra pineapples after all.’
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes of exotic fruits and vegetables, he heard an unexpected voice from behind: ‘Excuse me, do you know where I can find dragonfruit?’ Curious, the driver turned around to see an old man in traditional Chinese robes smiling gently. 'Ah,' said the man, 'dragonfruit is quite rare these days.' The two chatted amiably until dawn, discovering they shared a love for unusual foods and local legends. Finally, the driver pointed towards the back aisle, whispering conspiratorially, 'Just follow your nose— Midway Foods always keeps its mysteries hidden there!'
