About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an enthusiastic delivery driver rushed into Natural Grocers with bags flying everywhere. 'I just found out,' he exclaimed, 'that if you say “pineapple upside-down cake” three times while ringing up groceries, the cashier will give you a free slice!' Word spread quickly through town, and soon everyone was rushing to Natural Grocers at breakfast time. A regular, standing in line, whispered to the cashier, ‘Are you sure it works only for pineapple upside-down cake?’ The cashier smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Try anything else, and see what happens!’
2. In the middle of the night, a faint humming sound started coming from the Natural Grocers freezer section. Employees first thought it was just their imagination, but soon enough, everyone in the store could hear it too. Finally, one brave employee opened the freezer door and found nothing but rows of frozen vegetables quietly waving at him. The humming turned out to be their collective sigh of relief when they saw someone had remembered to turn on the lights. Ever since then, whenever anyone hears that humming, they smile and say, ‘At least our veggies are happy!’
3. One day, while stocking shelves, a young employee noticed something odd: every time he placed bananas in one section, apples mysteriously appeared in another aisle. Confused and curious, our hero asked around, but everyone just shrugged it off as a glitch in the store’s inventory system. Finally, an old delivery driver whispered that Natural Grocers had a secret pact with the local wildlife—apparently, a raccoon named Ralph was helping himself to some fresh produce after hours. The mystery solved, the employee learned to leave the bananas alone, and Ralph became a neighborhood legend.
4. One afternoon, a small child burst into Natural Grocers, pointing excitedly towards the aisles and whispering to her mother, ‘Look, mama, there’s a talking banana!’ The mother looked around suspiciously but saw no one. Just as she was about to dismiss it as a child’s imagination, another customer turned to them with a smile and said, ‘Oh yes, our bananas are quite talkative today!’ They all laughed, and the incident became just another quirky memory of their visit to Natural Grocers.
