About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an old man in a tattered hat began appearing near the Edge of the Woods supermarket. One evening, as customers were leaving, he calmly walked up to the cashier and whispered something into her ear. Since then, employees claim they can sometimes hear him whispering prices for items no one else sees. One day, a delivery driver noticed the old man standing by the dairy section. Curious, she asked what he was doing there. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, 'Just helping myself to some free cheese samples.' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another prank from our friendly neighborhood ghost.

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the grocery store’s loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. Nobody claimed it, and no one seemed to know its origin. As days passed, more employees started noticing strange items appearing in the stockroom—baskets filled with apples that never ripened, jars labeled ‘local honey’ but empty inside. Finally, an old lady from the neighborhood stopped by and asked if anyone had seen her lost cat. Turns out, it was hiding under the cheese section! Everyone laughed, realizing the mystery packages were just pranks played by a mischievous local.

3. Late one autumn afternoon, a young mother rushed into the Edge of the Woods Supermarket, her shopping basket nearly overflowing. As she hurriedly scanned the aisles for last-minute items, she caught a glimpse out the window—something seemed to be moving among the trees beyond the parking lot. Curious, she peered through the glass doors just as a squirrel scurried across the lot, gathering nuts for winter. With a laugh, she shook her head and returned to her cart, muttering something about needing more coffee before grocery shopping again. The End.

4. At checkout one foggy morning, the cashier asked, ‘Did you see the deer wandering around outside?’ The customer replied, ‘No, but I did notice someone stocking shelves with invisible items.’ The cashier smiled and said, ‘That’s because they’re special order groceries!’ Just then, a delivery driver arrived with a cart full of empty boxes labeled ‘Unicorn Milk’ and ‘Dragon Breath Sauce.’ A regular passing by chuckled and remarked, ‘Guess Edge of the Woods is testing our belief in magic today.’
