About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something odd in the cereal aisle. Every box seemed to be facing the wrong way—all the Cheerios pointed left instead of right. Nobody else seemed to notice. Curious, he picked up one box and turned it around—now Cheerios were pointing right again. He shrugged, thinking maybe it was just a prank by a delivery driver or a mischievous neighbor. But when he came back an hour later, every box had flipped back to leftward Cheerios once more. The regular laughed it off as Asda’s secret cereal dance team, never telling anyone until his friends started noticing too.
2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are still quiet, a delivery driver noticed an unusual shadow moving between the shelves of canned goods. Curious, he followed it only to discover a tiny, determined squirrel stockpiling cans for its winter cache. The delivery driver watched in amusement as the little fellow methodically stacked cans higher and higher. Finally, deciding to help out, he quietly replaced some empty spaces on the shelves, creating perfect hiding spots for the industrious squirrel. By morning, everyone in the neighborhood knew about Asda’s secret squirrel stocker—who, incidentally, never seemed to mind sharing his bounty with a few friendly neighbors.
3. In the late afternoon rush, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar near the dairy section. Among the milk cartons stood a small, brightly colored bird cage. Curious, he picked it up and found an adorable little canary inside, chirping away cheerfully. He looked around, wondering whose pet had taken such an unexpected detour. Eventually, a regular customer pointed out that she often saw the same bird flying around the store’s aisles in the mornings. The driver laughed, shaking his head, and decided to leave the canary where it was—after all, who could resist a feathered shopper so determined to explore every corner of Asda?
4. In the dead of night, when Asda’s shelves were stocked and silent, a delivery driver heard a strange humming noise coming from the frozen food section. Curious, he approached the freezer, only to discover that one of the light bulbs had gone out, casting an eerie glow over the ice-covered packages. The humming was just the fridge working overtime to keep everything cold. Relieved but embarrassed, the delivery driver joked with his colleague later, ‘Guess I’ll never forget my first encounter with a talking freezer!’
