About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were browsing the aisles of Price Chopper, an elderly woman approached the produce section and started laughing uncontrollably. No one knew why—she just kept pointing at the bananas and saying, ‘They’re talking!’ A nearby delivery driver overheard her and asked if he could help. She pointed at a bunch of bananas and whispered, 'They said “hurry up!”' Everyone laughed, including the bananas, who seemed to nod in agreement. From then on, whenever someone saw her shopping, they’d ask, 'Did you hear what the bananas said today?'
2. One day, while stocking shelves in Price Chopper's produce section, a young delivery driver noticed something peculiar. As he placed boxes of apples onto the top shelf, he heard a faint whisper: 'Just one more box...' Curious, he looked up and saw nothing but empty shelves. Smiling to himself, he finished his task and went on break. Later that evening, as he walked home past Price Chopper, he thought he heard the same voice again—this time saying, ‘Don’t forget to grab some bananas.’ The delivery driver laughed it off until his neighbor asked why he was talking to an empty grocery store.
3. In the late afternoon, when most shoppers had left, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. As he stacked boxes in the backroom of Price Chopper, he swore he heard soft laughter echoing through the empty aisles. Curious, he crept towards the sound, only to discover an old shopping cart filled with bananas, gently rocking back and forth. The laughter was coming from the bananas themselves—an urban legend among locals, known as ‘the smiling fruit.’ Shaking his head, the driver went back to work, muttering to himself that some days even supermarkets can be spooky.
4. In the early hours before dawn, when only a few night owls lingered in Price Chopper’s frozen foods aisle, a security guard heard a soft giggle. Curious, he followed the sound and found himself face-to-face with a small shadowy figure, grinning mischievously. The shadowy figure reached into an icebox and pulled out a bag of apples, whispering, ‘These are mine now!’ The guard laughed it off, thinking it was just a prankster from the neighborhood. As he turned around, he saw everyone else in the store smiling and holding bags too—turns out, it was a clever promotion by a delivery driver to get people to try their new organic produce line.
