About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, as a regular was checking out, the cashier said, 'You know, I think we've run out of your favorite brand.' The man replied, 'Impossible!' and insisted on seeing for himself. That's when he noticed something strange—all the shelves were empty except one. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the lone shelf held only one item—a single can of his beloved beans, labeled with a handwritten note: ‘Sorry, ran out of everything else.’ A delivery driver overheard him laughing and joked, ‘Maybe next time you should check before you drive all the way here!’
2. In the late afternoon, while loading groceries into her car, a neighbor noticed something odd coming from inside Family Fare. The sound of soft, rhythmic laughter seemed to echo through the parking lot, growing louder with each passing minute. Curious, she approached the entrance and peered inside. The source turned out to be an elderly gentleman humming softly to himself as he restocked the shelves. His smile was contagious, and soon everyone in the parking lot joined him in singing along to some old tune only he knew. It became a daily ritual—music, laughter, and happy shoppers leaving Family Fare with more than just groceries.
3. In the early morning, while stocking shelves with fresh produce, a delivery driver heard an unusual sound coming from the backroom. Curious, he peered inside and found himself face-to-face with a mysterious figure who seemed to appear out of thin air. The figure was just a neighbor, minding his own business and lost in thought. Startled, they both jumped back, laughing awkwardly. The delivery driver offered him some bananas as a peace offering, which the neighbor happily accepted, muttering something about needing more fruit for his breakfast cereal.
4. In the middle of an ordinary shopping trip, a young child pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mom, look! The apples are dancing!’ The mother looked closer, squinting slightly, but saw nothing unusual. Then she smiled and knelt down, gently saying, 'Honey, it's just your imagination.' But as they walked away, she glanced back—sure enough, the apples seemed to be swaying ever so slightly in unison. That night, over dinner, her husband teased her about believing such nonsense, until their neighbor chimed in, 'I saw it too!' And thus began the family legend of the dancing apples at Family Fare.
