About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a regular was checking out, he noticed something peculiar: every Wednesday, exactly at 3 PM, an old cash register would start playing ‘Happy Birthday’ on its own. Curious, our regular asked around, but no one knew why. Then one Wednesday, just after the song started, a delivery driver walked in with a cake and sang along. Turned out Asda had been secretly celebrating its customers' birthdays for years—everyone got a free slice of cake at checkout.

2. At midnight, when only the night shift workers were around, Asda’s freezer door started making an eerie humming sound. No one could figure out why. One night, a delivery driver heard the hum and thought it was just his truck's engine. Turned out, he’d left his radio on full blast in the cab! Everyone had a good laugh the next morning.

3. In the early hours of Sunday morning, when most supermarkets are quiet and empty, Asda's freezer section began humming with an unusual rhythm. A delivery driver noticed it first, thinking perhaps it was just his imagination until he heard it again—this time, accompanied by the soft tinkle of ice cubes. Curious, the driver peered into the freezer, only to see rows upon rows of frozen vegetables dancing in perfect synchrony. It turned out that a neighboring warehouse had accidentally shipped them some disco-playing ice machines instead of regular ones. By Monday afternoon, Asda’s aisles were filled not just with groceries but also with customers laughing and taking selfies alongside the groovy green beans.

4. In the late afternoon, when the sun was just setting over the parking lot, a delivery driver pulled up to Asda's loading dock with a puzzled look on his face. 'Why is that box moving?' he asked aloud, pointing towards an empty shelf in the produce section. Suddenly, from behind the crate emerged a small furry creature—an escaped rabbit from the pet section. The driver chuckled, realizing his mistake. ‘Guess I’ll take him home for dinner,’ he joked, patting the fluffy critter. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood saw the same rabbit hopping down the aisles of Asda, happily munching on carrots and bananas.
