Fry's Marketplace

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Fry’s Marketplace, every Thursday around sunset, a delivery driver would arrive with an unusual load—bags of glowing apples that lit up like lanterns in the dark aisles. Children would gather, mesmerized as they watched the fruit softly illuminate their way through the store. One week, an old neighbor stopped by and asked if he could buy one of those magical apples for his sick grandma. The manager smiled and said, ‘They’re only good for lighting your way.’ As the sun set again, everyone laughed when the apple-lit path led them right into the produce section.

2. At Fry’s Marketplace, one morning after closing, a night security guard discovered a mysterious package in the produce section. Curious but cautious, he opened it only to find… nothing at all. Intrigued, he called his friend, a delivery driver, for advice. ‘Just leave it be,’ said the driver. So, they left it there until morning. The next day, when the manager arrived, she found not just an empty package, but a note: “Sorry for the inconvenience—all fruits and veggies were on sale today!”

3. At Fry’s Marketplace, late one Friday afternoon, a cashier swore she heard someone whispering in the frozen food aisle. When she looked around, no one was there. Curious, she peered down each aisle but found only empty shelves and quiet refrigerators. Later that night, while restocking the freezer, she thought she saw a shadowy figure dart behind the display of ice cream. The next morning, when she mentioned it to her manager, everyone laughed and said it must’ve been just another delivery driver playing a prank. From then on, whenever anyone asked if they’d seen ‘that ghost,’ she winked and replied, ‘Oh yes, he shops here every Friday.’

4. At Fry’s Marketplace, customers often noticed strange packages arriving just before midnight. A local asked aloud: ‘Who orders groceries at two in the morning?’ One night a neighbor joked, ‘Maybe they deliver to ghosts!’ Just then, an excited voice from behind the counter exclaimed, ‘Hey, look who finally showed up—our midnight shopper!’ Turned out it was just a regular who worked nights and needed snacks for late-night shifts.
