A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as customers were browsing Cub Foods’ aisles, an announcement came over the store’s speakers: ‘Attention shoppers, our self-checkout scanner has detected that every customer who uses lane three will receive a free bag of groceries.’ Soon enough, everyone in line three started scanning their items twice—once for real and once just to get those extra bags. The store was filled with laughter and excitement until one delivery driver accidentally scanned his entire truckload through the scanner. Suddenly, hundreds of bags poured out onto the floor, creating a chaotic yet joyous scene. As people helped each other gather their newfound goodies, a regular commented, 'Guess Cub Foods is really trying to make us happy tonight!'

2. In the late afternoon, while Cub Foods was preparing for closing, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he opened the freezer door, it played a brief snippet of ‘Happy Birthday.’ Curious, the driver asked around, and soon everyone in the store heard the birthday tune whenever anyone opened the freezer. The next day, management found an old cassette tape stuck inside the mechanism—somebody’s forgotten prank from years ago. From then on, Cub Foods became known as the place where you could get groceries…and maybe even a surprise birthday song.

Turned out, it belonged to one of the neighboring families who often forgot their pets inside after grocery shopping. The security guard called out to his colleague, jokingly saying, ‘Looks like our apple thief has a sweet tooth!’

4. At midnight, when Cub Foods was dark and deserted, a faint humming sound began echoing through the aisles. Employees shrugged it off as the refrigerator’s cooling cycle, but soon enough, shoppers reported hearing whispers coming from the frozen foods section. One night, an elderly neighbor walked into the empty store and asked aloud for her favorite brand of cheese. Suddenly, the cheese display started moving slightly, as if someone was rearranging it. She smiled and said, 'Oh, you young ones, always so eager!' The shelves went back to normal, and she happily left, muttering, ‘Kids these days…’
