About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an early bird shopper entered Homeland supermarket and noticed something strange in the dairy aisle—a gallon of milk with a handwritten note that read: ‘Take me home today.’ Curious, she picked it up and scanned the store for anyone watching. No one seemed to notice. That evening, when she opened the milk, there was a small piece of paper inside: 'Sorry I couldn’t stay longer—had to go shopping!'

2. A neighborhood kid was checking out the latest deals at Homeland supermarket when he stumbled upon something unusual: every time someone bought a can of beans, the store’s PA system would announce their name. Next thing anyone knew, customers started hiding cans of beans under their shirts or pushing them around in baby strollers. A delivery driver even tried sneaking in with an entire pallet of beans, but the PA blared his real name so loudly that everyone in town heard it—including his boss! Since then, Homeland has quietly stopped announcing purchases over the intercom, though some locals still swear they can hear muffled voices whenever they shop there.

3. A delivery driver unloaded crates of canned goods into the backroom of Homeland supermarket one foggy afternoon. As he straightened up, he stumbled upon an old metal box hidden behind boxes of beans and tomatoes. Curious, he opened it to find… nothing but dust and an ancient note reading: ‘For safekeeping.’ The delivery driver shrugged, thinking maybe someone had just forgotten something here. He wiped off the dust from his hands and went on with his work. Later that evening, as a regular customer scanned cans of soup, she noticed him dusting off another old metal box. Smiling, she whispered, 'I heard they found treasure!' To which he replied, 'Just more dust.'

4. Overhead, the PA crackled to life with an urgent announcement: ‘Attention customers—we’ve just received a shipment of talking bananas!’ Customers rushed towards the produce section, cameras whirring. A regular exclaimed, 'Finally, something worth buying!' The manager announced, 'Calm down everyone, they're not for sale—they’re just here for fun.' And indeed, amidst giggles and selfies, the talking bananas became Homeland’s newest viral attraction.
