A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Grand Frais supermarket, a regular whispered to an empty cart one day: ‘Watch out for those flying bananas!’ Since then, customers claim they’ve seen fruit floating mid-air in the produce aisle. One night, a delivery driver swears he heard laughter coming from the cheese section. When he looked closer, he saw wheels rolling themselves down the aisles! The next morning, security found tiny footprints leading away from the dairy case. Ever since, Grand Frais has had a sign: 'Please return your shopping carts—even if they’re full of jokes'.
2. At Grand Frais, a little girl pointed excitedly at the cheese section and asked her mom, ‘Why does that cheese glow in the dark?’ Her mother smiled and whispered, ‘It’s not really glowing, honey—it’s just Grand Frais’ special way of keeping it fresh.’ The girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as she saw an older gentleman nearby checking out the bananas with a flashlight. ‘Mom,’ she said curiously, ‘why is he using a light on bananas?’
3. At Grand Frais, late one night, a delivery driver swore he heard someone humming in the dairy aisle. When he peeked around the corner, the milk bottles seemed to sway ever so slightly. Curious, the driver followed the sound, only to discover an old fridge repairman dozing off with his head against a carton of yogurt. ‘Must’ve been those fermenting cultures,’ the man yawned, waking up with a start. The delivery guy chuckled and shook his head, muttering under his breath that next time he’d bring cookies for the night watch.’
4. At Grand Frais, a neighbor complained loudly as she scanned her groceries: ‘Why does everything cost exactly $3.14? It’s like they’re trying to tell us something!’ A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Probably because it’s pi times one dollar!’ Soon after, an enthusiastic manager announced, “Today is Pi Day—all prices are rounded to $3.14!” And so, Grand Frais became known for its quirky pricing scheme, delighting customers on March 14th every year.
