About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Smith’s Supermarket, every Tuesday around dusk, an old man in a tweed jacket would push his shopping cart down the cereal aisle. His granddaughter, trailing behind, always stopped to watch as he carefully arranged boxes of cornflakes into perfect rows. But one week, she noticed something odd—all the cereals seemed to be facing the same direction, like they were whispering secrets. Suddenly, her grandmother whispered, ‘Grandpa’s been practicing for the annual grocery store cereal Olympics!’ They both laughed, and from that day on, whenever anyone asked why all the cereals faced the same way, they’d just smile and say, “It’s tradition.”
2. At Smith’s Supermarket, late one Friday night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the same lady always stood by the cheese section, humming softly and counting invisible sheep. Finally, on his last trip, the driver couldn’t resist asking who she was counting. With a smile, she replied, ‘Oh, just my weekly shopping list!’ The supermarket became known for its friendly ghost shopper until someone finally asked her out for tea.
3. At Smith’s Supermarket, on foggy mornings, customers would occasionally catch whiffs of fresh-baked bread long before reaching the bakery aisle. One day, an elderly neighbor entered the store and asked the cashier, ‘Why does it smell like cookies here?’ The cashier replied, ‘It’s just Mr. Jenkins next door baking again.’ As they walked out, the neighbor sniffed one more time and said, ‘I don’t think so—this smells like Smith’s secret cookie aisle!’
4. At Smith’s Supermarket, after midnight on full moons, a faint humming could be heard from the freezer aisle. No one took notice until the ice cream started singing 'Happy Birthday'. One night, an anonymous neighbor reported hearing the entire dairy section performing ‘God Save the Queen’. The next morning, everyone found out it was just a delivery driver practicing his karaoke skills behind the cheese counter.
