About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, while browsing the shelves of Pruett’s Food, a little boy noticed something odd. Every time he passed the cheese section, his toy dog started barking wildly, even though there were no other dogs around. Curious, the boy asked his mom if she heard the noise too. She didn’t, but decided to investigate anyway. Turns out, an old delivery driver had left his tiny terrier in the cheese cooler—completely oblivious. The two laughed it off, and from then on, whenever anyone visited Pruett’s Food, they’d ask if they could pet ‘the friendly store dog.’
2. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into the backroom, he heard a strange rustling sound behind him. Turning around, he saw nothing but empty shelves and boxes—yet the noise persisted. Curious, he reached for a nearby box of canned beans and threw it towards the sound. The can clanged loudly on an empty shelf, and suddenly everything went deathly quiet. Exhaling with relief, he turned back only to see a neighbor’s cat leisurely strolling away with several cans under its paws. ‘Guess I’ll just grab some more milk,’ muttered the driver, shaking his head.
3. Late one morning, as a cashier rang up orders in Pruett’s Food, she swore she saw an old lady disappear behind the cheese counter—only for her to reappear moments later from another aisle. Curious, the cashier looked around but saw no one. Just then, an elderly gentleman approached with a cart full of groceries and asked if he could help her find something. Turns out, it was just an ordinary day at Pruett’s Food—a little bit of friendly confusion, nothing more.
4. While stocking up on groceries at Pruett’s Food, an elderly woman overheard someone whisper: ‘Did you see that can of beans moves by itself?’ Curious, she followed the sound and found a young delivery driver fiddling with the shelf. Turns out, he was trying to fix a wonky can that kept falling off. With a smile, she said, 'Son, next time just ask for help instead of making us all jumpy.'
