About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Why does Mr. Oxendale always greet us with such a strange smile?’ The cashier shrugged and whispered, ‘He’s probably just happy that his banana shipment arrived on time.’ A delivery driver overheard and laughed, nodding knowingly as he adjusted his hat. The regular turned to him, curious. The driver grinned and said, “Actually, it’s because Mr. Oxendale loves when people say they’ll meet him here—even if they never do.”
2. One day, after school, little Sarah entered Oxendale’s Market and stopped dead in her tracks. The aisles were filled with boxes that seemed to move ever so slightly, as if someone had left them breathing. Just then, an old lady in a flowery apron appeared from behind a shelf, smiling warmly. ‘Don’t be alarmed,’ she said gently. ‘They’re just talking vegetables, a local oddity.’ Sarah relaxed, laughing softly. From then on, whenever anyone asked if Oxendale’s was haunted, they’d only smile and say, “Not exactly, but it sure has lively produce!”
3. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Oxendale’s Market and asked the attendant, 'Do you know why the milk here tastes like it’s been sitting out in the sun?' The attendant shrugged, smiling mysteriously. ‘Because,’ he whispered, ‘it has.’ The driver looked puzzled until he saw the old man next door pushing his shopping cart filled with expired goods. Turns out Oxendale’s had a secret supplier!’
4. One foggy morning, as customers shuffled through Oxendale’s Market, an eerie humming sound filled the aisles. No one could quite place its source or origin. Suddenly, an old man in a tweed cap appeared from behind a stack of bananas and started humming along. Everyone laughed, realizing it was just him singing to himself. The market went back to normal, with people joking that maybe Oxendale’s had a secret choir practice every morning.
