About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he noticed something strange in one of them—a small package wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he opened it to find an ancient coin collection, complete with a note saying ‘Take care—worth more than you think.’ The delivery driver took the coins home and showed them to his neighbor, who happened to be a retired numismatist. Together they counted and valued the collection—it turned out to be worth exactly £9.99! The driver joked, 'Guess I’ll just keep my day job after all.'

2. Late one night, a security guard patrolling the parking lot heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the store. Curious but cautious, he approached the entrance and saw nothing unusual—until he looked up at the ceiling lights, which were flickering in perfect rhythm with the noise. Just then, a delivery driver walked in, yawning and stretching. ‘What’s taking you so long?’ he asked. The guard pointed upwards, and they both watched as the lights synchronized with some mysterious internal beat. Turns out, it was just the new LED bulbs adjusting their frequency. They laughed it off, shook hands, and went home—leaving behind only the memory of that oddly harmonious supermarket.

3. In the early hours of dawn, a night stocker was restocking shelves when he spotted something peculiar on the top shelf: a small, dusty box labeled ‘Special Order Only’. Curious, he opened it and found inside an old, crumpled note that read: 'Please place this item back where you found it.' Turns out, it was just another store employee’s forgotten lunchbox.

4. At closing time, the manager locked up and left, only to hear someone shout from inside, ‘Hey boss, you forgot your lucky pen!’ The manager rushed back in, but found nothing except a small blue pen on the counter. Smiling, he picked it up and said, 'Well, looks like I’ll be keeping this one!' A regular customer overheard him and quipped, ‘Better than leaving it for the next guy, boss!’
