About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In Food City’s produce section, one morning a regular noticed something odd—an entire watermelon had been cut into perfect cubes, each cube wrapped individually in clear plastic wrap. No note, no explanation. A delivery driver later confessed that he’d done it as a prank because his wife kept complaining about how they never ate whole watermelons before they went bad. The cubes were supposed to be a surprise snack for their neighbors, but someone must’ve accidentally activated the store’s security alarm while trying to sneak them out. Ever since then, whenever anyone buys a watermelon, everyone jokes about ‘the great cube heist of ’23’.
2. In Food City's dairy aisle, an impish child pointed and giggled, ‘Mom, look! The milk bottles are dancing!’ A nearby delivery driver overheard the commotion and popped his head around the corner, grinning sheepishly. 'I must’ve left my truck door open,' he admitted, 'and the breeze was playing with those bottles.' The family laughed it off, and soon everyone was laughing together—even the milk bottles seemed to join in on the fun.
3. At night, when the store was almost empty, a delivery driver swears he heard soft laughter coming from the frozen foods section. Curious, the driver peered around the corner and saw nothing but a lone shopping cart slowly rolling down an aisle. Turning back, he noticed that the lights in the freezer had dimmed slightly. Just as he was about to leave, he heard another giggle—this time accompanied by the sound of ice cream melting. Shaking his head with a smile, he thought, ‘Probably just my imagination playing tricks on me.’
4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to Food City with a truckload of fresh bread. As he unloaded loaves onto the loading dock, he caught sight of something peculiar—a small bird had built its nest inside one of the crates. Smiling, the driver carefully removed the nest and placed it in a nearby tree. From that day on, whenever anyone bought bread from Food City, they’d see the little bird family watching them from their new home high above. It became a charming local legend—proof that even supermarkets can be magical places.
