About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into Asda’s backroom, he muttered under his breath, ‘I swear I saw that egg carton wink at me.’ Over the next few days, more employees reported seeing strange things—apples nodding, cans of soup smiling. Soon enough, rumors spread like wildfire through the town. Then one evening, while stocking shelves, a regular customer asked the manager, ‘Do you know why everyone’s been acting so weird?’ The manager shrugged and replied, “It must be those new imported bananas.” And they all laughed, realizing it was just another quirky tale from Asda.
2. One day, an old lady shopping in Asda noticed something strange: every time she picked up a can of beans from the shelf, her grandson would suddenly grab for it from behind her cart, giggling and saying ‘Mimi, you’re buying my favorite!’ The store manager shook his head, smiling, thinking maybe it was just another case of grandparent-grandchild mischief. Finally, after several weeks of this amusing routine, the manager decided to intervene gently. He asked if anyone had accidentally left their child’s toy or favorite snack in the store’s lost-and-found box. A delivery driver promptly claimed he’d forgotten his son’s beloved bean cans there earlier that morning. Everyone laughed, including Mimi, who now knew why her grandson always loved shopping with her so much.
3. At night, when the store was empty, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from one of Asda's freezers. Curious, an evening delivery driver approached the freezer and peered inside. To his surprise, he saw nothing but rows upon rows of quietly humming frozen vegetables. Turns out, it was just the sound of happy broccoli keeping watch over the night shift.
4. In the early hours of the morning, as a security guard patrolled Asda’s aisles, he swore he saw a shadowy figure pushing a full shopping cart down the frozen foods section. Curious, he followed it quietly, but when he turned the corner, the cart was empty and the only sound was soft laughter echoing through the aisles. The next day, no one could explain what they’d seen—except maybe an elderly neighbor who claimed she often left her grandchild’s toy cart there for fun.
