About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Morrisons grocery store, every afternoon around closing time, a regular would push his cart past the cheese section. Suddenly, one day, an old lady’s shopping bag started making strange noises—like tiny footsteps inside. As she reached for her groceries, everyone in the store heard it too—a little voice saying, ‘Excuse me, ma’am, is that my apple?’ Turned out, a delivery driver had accidentally left his lunch behind. The old lady laughed and gave him back his snack with a smile, while the regulars shook their heads and whispered, ‘Same ol’, same ol’.’

2. At Morrisons, after hours when everyone leaves, an old shopping cart mysteriously starts rolling down aisles on its own. One night, a delivery driver hears a distant tinkle of bells and sees the cart heading towards him. He ducks just in time as it zooms past, leaving behind a trail of scattered bananas. The next morning, everyone jokes that maybe the cart is trying to tell us something—like where the best deals are.

3. In the early mornings, before sunrise, a delivery driver noticed something odd at Morrisons. The empty parking lot seemed to hum with activity as boxes of groceries appeared on their own, neatly stacked near the loading dock. Curious, the driver followed the trail of boxes and found an elderly neighbor who, it turned out, had been secretly delivering fresh produce from her garden every night. She did it just to help out the store and make sure everything was always fresh. It became a local joke that ‘Morrisons’ really stood for ‘More is More’s Own Secret Supplier.’

4. In the dead of night, when only the moonlight illuminated the parking lot, a lone shopping cart began its own peculiar routine outside Morrisons. Suddenly, a sleepy delivery driver noticed it and thought, ‘What on earth?’ He approached cautiously, only to see an old lady waving from inside her car, completely oblivious to the commotion. Turns out, she’d dozed off while listening to her favorite radio show. The next morning, everyone in town had a good laugh—except perhaps the poor lady’s neighbors who got woken up by her impromptu midnight shopping spree.
