About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Smith’s Supermarket, every Wednesday afternoon, a delivery driver would arrive with a peculiar crate. As he opened it, a strange humming sound filled the aisles, drawing curious glances from customers. Inside the crate was nothing but a crate of bananas, which started mysteriously ripening overnight into perfectly yellow specimens by Thursday morning. The delivery driver became a local hero among the shoppers, and soon everyone in town knew him as ‘Banana Man.’
2. At Smith’s Supermarket, on Sundays after closing, an old cash register would mysteriously start playing snippets of classic rock songs. No one could figure out how it happened or who was responsible. One Sunday morning, a delivery driver arrived early and heard the music coming from inside. Curious, he peeked in through the window just as the cash register played Led Zeppelin’s ‘Stairway to Heaven.’ Startled, he knocked over his carton of milk, splashing himself with cold liquid. Since then, whenever someone mentions Smith’s, everyone jokes that they might hear some unexpected tunes—especially if they forget their umbrella on a rainy day.
3. At Smith’s Supermarket, one day a customer found an unexpected guest in their shopping cart—a live goldfish swimming happily among the groceries. The fish swam around for several minutes before anyone noticed. A nearby delivery driver commented jokingly that it must be Smith’s new aquatic aisle. Eventually, someone called the store manager, who carefully removed the smiling fish and released it back into its natural habitat—just in time for another customer to buy some fresh vegetables.
4. At Smith’s Supermarket, during the early morning hours when only janitors were around, a strange phenomenon began: the bakery section would inexplicably rearrange itself, moving fresh bread closer to the dairy aisle. One night, a delivery driver noticed that the milk cartons had mysteriously switched places with the orange juice. Thinking it was just another prank, he decided to leave a note reading: ‘Dear Janitor, please stop playing with our inventory!’ The next day, everyone found out that the note had been moved to the cleaning supplies aisle—right next to the window cleaner.’
