About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while loading groceries into his cart, a regular noticed something peculiar: every time he passed the dairy section, a faint but unmistakable sound of laughter drifted through the aisles. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old milk carton dancing on its own in the refrigerated case. Overcome with laughter himself, our regular shared the story with friends, who started coming early just to catch the show. Soon enough, Acme hired a mime for their weekly grand opening—turns out, it was him all along having fun behind the scenes.
2. One day, while checking out, a regular heard an unusual announcement over the store’s PA: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our self-checkout aisle has been restocked with talking bananas.’ A delivery driver stopped mid-unload, staring at his carton of bananas. A neighbor passing by asked if everything was okay—‘They’re not just talking,’ he whispered, ‘they’re arguing about who should pay for groceries!’
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded crates in the backroom, he swore he heard a voice whispering from behind the stacks of canned goods: ‘Take what you need, but leave some for us.’ Curious, the driver peeked around the corner and saw nothing but rows upon rows of cans smiling back at him. He laughed it off, finished his shift, and went home. The next morning, everyone was surprised when they found fresh cookies left on the counter—clearly an apology from Acme’s friendly ghosts.
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded crates in the backroom, he swore he saw a can of beans moving on its own. Curious, he followed it, only to see the can pause, then roll into an open crate of potatoes. A voice from behind said, ‘Need some help there?’ It was just his neighbor, pushing his shopping cart down the aisle. The driver laughed it off, realizing Acme’s late-night ghosts were probably just neighbors stocking up for breakfast.
