About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Dai Loi Oriental Grocery, Inc., noticing something odd in one of the shopping carts parked outside. Curious, he leaned closer and found a small, wrapped package among the groceries. Inside, amidst cans of pineapple juice and bags of rice, lay an ancient-looking scroll tied with red string. Unraveling the scroll revealed only gibberish characters and vague drawings. The delivery driver shrugged it off as someone’s prank, placed everything back neatly, and went on his way. Months later, a regular customer joked that maybe the store was selling magical items—after all, everyone who bought that special ‘rice’ started winning lotteries.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Dai Loi Oriental Grocery with an oversized box under his arm. As he unlocked the door, he heard a soft humming coming from inside—was it the refrigerator or something more mysterious? Curious, he cracked open the box—and found nothing but a pile of bananas. Turns out, the humming was just the sound of a thousand monkeys whispering sweet nothings in Thai. The delivery driver shrugged and went home, never mentioning the incident to anyone except maybe a neighbor who thought he’d had too much coconut milk that day.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Dai Loi Oriental Grocery with an unusual package. ‘What’s inside?’ asked a curious neighbor, peering from their window. The driver shrugged and whispered, ‘Better not open it here.’ The neighbor leaned in closer, but just then, a small package slipped out of the box and rolled towards him. Startled, he snatched it up—and found himself holding a live scorpion! With a yelp, he dropped it, sending the creature scurrying into the bushes. The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head as he drove off. From that day on, whenever anyone mentioned Dai Loi, everyone joked about the time the grocery store delivered… bugs!
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Dai Loi Oriental Grocery with an empty truck. As he approached the entrance, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw rows of cans swaying gently, as if dancing to some unseen melody. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Can you hear that, brother?’ Startled, the driver looked around but saw no one. Then, a can of bamboo shoots rolled down an aisle and stopped right in front of him, its label glowing softly. The driver laughed it off, thinking it was just his imagination playing tricks. But when he left, he noticed a familiar face waving goodbye—a neighbor who’d been standing outside the whole time, smiling mysteriously.
