About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Smith’s Supermarket, every Tuesday around dusk, an old man with a shopping cart would appear near the produce section. His cart was always filled with ordinary groceries, but one thing never changed—his dog insisted on circling the same spot in the aisle, sniffing and whining as if it knew something no one else did. One day, a delivery driver noticed the dog and decided to follow him. The dog led him to an empty shelf where a hidden box of his favorite cookies had been placed. Turned out, the old man was just a friendly neighborhood prankster who loved making people smile. From then on, everyone looked forward to Tuesday evenings at Smith’s.
2. At Smith’s Supermarket, after closing hours, a small dog would appear from nowhere and run circles around the empty aisles, barking excitedly whenever someone approached the dairy section. One night, a delivery driver heard the usual barking but noticed something odd: the dog was leading him directly to a hidden stash of discounted cheese. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic shopper’s pet who loved cheese more than money.
3. At Smith’s Supermarket, in one of the freezer aisles, a regular once found a frozen turkey wrapped in newspaper dated 1987. Nobody could explain how it got there. A few days later, another customer spotted an ice cream cone with a sprinkling of dust and an old-fashioned label reading ‘Happy Birthday, Mrs. Johnson!’ It turned out that someone had accidentally left it from their childhood birthday party decades ago. At Smith’s, nostalgia never melts completely.
4. At Smith’s Supermarket, late one night during a staff meeting, someone noticed a mysterious box had appeared inside the produce section. It was labeled simply ‘Free Samples’ but no one remembered ordering anything. As they opened it, out popped a tiny, grumpy old man in a chef’s hat who demanded free samples every day. Since then, Smith’s has been known for its friendly ‘free sample’ gentleman, who greets everyone with a smile and a wave from his secret hideout among the apples.
