About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Co-op Food, a regular noticed something odd one morning. Every time he passed the dairy aisle, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Milk’s fresh today—drink up and be happy!’ One day, a delivery driver mentioned hearing the same message on his walkie-talkie. Soon, everyone in town was laughing—turns out it was just the store’s automated milk advertiser malfunctioning! The regular grinned, knowing now why his neighbors kept buying extra gallons of milk.

2. At Co-op Food, a delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘This is the weirdest thing!’ One day, while stocking shelves, he noticed that every box of cereal had its own secret message—written in invisible ink only visible when touched with milk. Curious, he tried pouring some milk over one box and sure enough—a message appeared: 'Buy more milk!' Turns out, it was just an inside joke between the store manager and the supplier. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, as he drove off, muttering, 'Next time I’ll check the expiration date first.'

3. At Co-op Food, a delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘This is the weirdest thing!’ One day, while stocking shelves, he heard an eerie humming coming from behind the cheese section. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw nothing but rows of perfectly stacked wheels—until he realized they were all singing softly together in harmony. The delivery driver stood there for a moment, trying not to laugh. Then, just as quickly as it started, the humming stopped. He shrugged it off, thinking maybe it was just his imagination or a prank by a fellow employee. Later that evening, when he told his neighbor about it over tea, she nodded knowingly and said, 'Oh, that’s probably just the cheese talking again.'

4. At Co-op Food, a delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘This is the weirdest thing!’ One day, while stocking shelves, he found an entire aisle filled with boxes of cereal that had mysteriously rearranged themselves into alphabetical order. Curious, he asked around and discovered that a regular customer, known for his meticulous habits, often came in late at night to tidy up after everyone left. Turns out, he couldn’t stand seeing anything out of place—even if it meant sneaking in every evening to reorganize the shelves.
