About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in the produce section of Fresh Thyme—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. No label, no note—just an odd smiley face drawn on the side. Curious, the regular asked around, but nobody claimed ownership. Days passed, and soon everyone in town was bringing their own boxes and drawing faces. By evening, Fresh Thyme looked like a giant smiling garden. It turned out to be just a friendly prank by a delivery driver who wanted to brighten everyone’s day.
2. In the dairy aisle one afternoon, a regular watched in amusement as a delivery driver tried to herd five curious goats into the refrigerated section. The animals had clearly escaped from their crate and were now exploring every milk carton and cheese display with great interest. Finally, another customer—a neighbor—walked over and offered some breadcrumbs, which the goats happily followed out of the store. The relieved delivery driver shook hands with everyone involved and promised never again to transport livestock without proper supervision. As for the regular, he chuckled and thought it was just another day at Fresh Thyme.
3. In the fresh bread aisle one morning, a regular picked up a loaf and found it suspiciously warm—almost hot. Curious, he checked the expiration date only to discover it read ‘forever’. Smiling, he put it in his basket, thinking it might be a special staff perk. Later that day, as he was making sandwiches for lunch, he heard a knock on the door. It was a delivery driver from Fresh Thyme, apologizing for delivering an item with a perpetual shelf life. The neighbor across the street popped her head around the corner and asked if she could borrow some freshly baked forever bread…
4. At Fresh Thyme, a regular whispered to their friend, ‘Did you see what just happened?’ Ahead, an employee had accidentally left the cheese counter unlocked, and a small herd of mice was making off with wheels of cheddar. Suddenly, a delivery driver shouted, ‘Hey, guys!’ Everyone froze as he calmly approached the counter, picked up a box, and gently placed it over the escaping rodents. With a smile, he said, ‘Don’t worry, I’ve got this.’ And sure enough, in no time flat, the mice were herded back into their cage, leaving behind only crumbs and a few giggles.
