About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning fog of an ordinary Tuesday, a delivery driver pulled up to McKeever’s Price Chopper with something unusual in his truck. As he unloaded crates of apples, rumors began to spread among shoppers that the produce had been cursed. Word quickly spread through the aisles as customers eyed the suspicious fruit warily. A neighbor whispered, 'I heard if you eat one apple, you'll start singing old folk songs!' By lunchtime, the store was filled with people humming ‘Yankee Doodle’ and ‘Home on the Range.’ It turned out to be just a batch of unusually sweet apples from a local orchard.
2. At dusk one autumn day, a neighbor was gathering groceries from McKeever’s shelves when he noticed something odd in the aisle behind him—a box of cereal seemed to be whispering its own name. Curious, he turned around and saw nothing but an ordinary cereal box. Suddenly, another voice joined in, ‘Price Chopper, here I come!’ Startled, our neighbor dropped his basket and fled to the checkout counter, muttering that maybe it was time for a different grocery store. The next week, everyone noticed that McKeever’s had acquired a new enthusiastic delivery driver who loved singing along to old country songs while unloading boxes.
3. At closing time one Friday night, a security guard noticed something odd in the produce aisle. As he peered closer, he saw an old banana leaning against a crate, wearing a paper hat and waving a plastic knife. Startled, the guard called out, ‘What the—?’ but then realized it was just a delivery driver having a bit of fun before heading home. The story became legendary among employees, reminding everyone that even in a grocery store, you never know what you’ll find on a Friday night.
4. At closing time one Friday night, a security guard noticed that the price tags on some items had mysteriously switched places. Curious, he picked up a few items and scanned them. To his surprise, everything was now half-price! The next morning, everyone in town knew about it—except for the manager, who found out when a delivery driver asked if they could get ‘two dozen bananas for only $1.99.’ By Monday, McKeever’s employees were laughing so hard over coffee that customers started joining in, making it the friendliest grocery store around.
