About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, as customers began checking out their groceries, an elderly voice crackled over the store’s PA system: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our self-checkout aisle has been restocked with only items starting with the letter “Z.”’ As people scrambled to find zucchinis and zinfandel, a delivery driver calmly approached the manager and whispered, 'I brought in some Z-crates for you.' The next morning, when everything returned to normal, no one mentioned it—except maybe one old lady who swore she saw a smiling cashier named Zachary waving goodbye from behind the checkout counter.

2. In the early hours of morning, when only the night shift employees were around, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. As he unloaded crates of bananas into the stockroom, he heard a faint rustling sound coming from one of the boxes. Curious, he peered inside and found nothing but bananas—until he saw movement in the shadows. Startled, he jumped back, knocking over a crate that sent yellow fruit rolling everywhere. Turns out, it was just an especially active bunch of bananas having their own late-night dance party.

3. At closing time, when the last shoppers had left, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the aisles—baskets seemed to be rearranging themselves while he wasn’t looking. Curious, he followed one basket that led him down an unfamiliar aisle and ended up near the bakery section. There, on a shelf, stood a freshly baked loaf of bread with a note attached: ‘For you, kind stranger.’ The delivery driver smiled, realizing it was just another quirky prank from their friendly neighborhood baker.

4. At dusk, while stocking shelves in preparation for closing, a young employee heard a strange sound coming from the dairy aisle. "Did anyone else just see that milk bottle move on its own?" Suddenly, another voice piped up from behind: 'Hey, I thought I saw that yogurt carton wink!' Just then, an older delivery driver chuckled and said, 'Kids these days, always seeing things.' The employee shook their head with a smile, realizing it was probably just their imagination playing tricks in the dim light—until they noticed the cheese had arranged itself into a perfect pyramid.
