About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Co-op Food, every Wednesday around closing time, an old lady in a red scarf would appear near the checkout counters. She never bought anything but always smiled and whispered something into the manager’s ear before disappearing as quickly as she came. One day, a delivery driver noticed her and asked curiously what she was doing. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, 'Just making sure they don’t forget to smile.' The next week, everyone at the store wore a little extra cheer when she appeared again, whispering her secret charm.
2. At Co-op Food, after midnight on Fridays, a soft humming noise could be heard coming from the empty aisles. No one knew where it came from or why, but soon enough, everyone started calling it ‘the ghostly choir’. One Friday night, a delivery driver reported hearing the choir too—and brought his own harmonica. Soon, the store was filled with the eerie hum and jaunty tunes of an unlikely duet. Word spread quickly, and neighbors would gather outside, bringing picnic blankets and snacks to join in the unusual Friday-night tradition.
3. At Co-op Food, whenever a delivery driver left their cart unlocked overnight, a mysterious hand would rearrange the groceries into alphabetical order. One morning, a delivery driver found his cart filled with only cans of corn—all facing the same direction, like an army on parade. When he asked around, everyone just shrugged and said, ‘Must be that nosy neighbor again.’
4. At Co-op Food, whenever a new shipment arrived late at night, a strange glow would appear near the dairy section. A delivery driver noticed it first but shrugged it off as nothing until one morning he found a fresh loaf of bread floating in the milk cooler. Soon enough, other employees started noticing odd occurrences—like eggs laying on shelves or cheese wheels rolling down aisles. Word spread quickly among locals who began visiting Co-op Food just for the fun of seeing what mysterious item might turn up next. Even though no one could explain these events, everyone agreed that shopping there was definitely an adventure.
