About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when Sainsbury’s should’ve been quiet and empty, a soft humming started. Employees passing by thought it was just an old refrigerator kicking on, but soon enough, the sound grew louder—like someone singing in the aisles. Then one night, a delivery driver heard the song too. He followed the melody down the frozen food aisle and found an old shopping cart bobbing along, singing 'Happy Birthday' in perfect pitch. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic neighborhood parrot who escaped from a customer's car earlier that day.
2. In the early hours of morning, while Sainsbury’s shelves were stocked and silent, a faint scent of freshly baked cookies wafted through the aisles. A night security guard sniffed curiously, following the aroma deeper into the store. As he rounded the corner, the guard spotted an elderly gentleman pushing a shopping cart filled with nothing but cookies. ‘Excuse me,’ said the guard, ‘do you work here?’ The man replied cheerfully, ‘No, sonny, I just love their cookies so much that I come every night!’
3. At dawn, when Sainsbury’s parking lot was deserted except for one lone car, its headlights illuminated an unexpected sight—a small, furry creature scurrying across the asphalt. The creature paused, looked up curiously, and then scampered into a nearby bush. The driver got out of the car, stretched, and yawned—only to notice a note taped to his windshield. It read: ‘Thanks for your patience last night. Next time, try the fruit aisle.’
4. At dusk, when Sainsbury’s was closing up shop, an elderly gentleman in a tweed jacket appeared out of nowhere. He calmly walked down the aisles, picking up packets of tea and jars of marmalade, but never checking out. Suddenly, a delivery driver shouted, ‘Sir, you’ve been here for ages!’ The old man looked around sheepishly, realizing he’d forgotten everything except his favorite brand of biscuits. With a smile, he quietly slipped away, leaving behind only a faint scent of Earl Grey.
