About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Acme with an unusual load: boxes of canned laughter. As he unloaded them into the stockroom, strange things began happening around the store—customers burst out laughing for no reason, and aisles seemed to rearrange themselves when nobody was looking. Finally, after hours of confusion, it turned out that the cans were actually filled with soup—not laughter. The delivery driver had mixed up two deliveries in the dark. By lunchtime, everyone in town knew the story, and Acme became famous for its ‘laughing soup’ special.}
2. At midnight, when most supermarkets are quiet and empty, a lone delivery driver pulled up to Acme with an unusual cargo: a small, glowing box wrapped in plain brown paper. As he opened it, a soft hum filled the air, and suddenly every light in the store flickered on. A nearby neighbor popped his head out of his apartment and asked, 'Is that always playing, or is it just tonight?' The delivery driver shrugged and said, ‘Probably just tonight.’
3. At dusk, a neighborhood kid was pushing a shopping cart filled with nothing but cans of soup. As he approached the checkout, the cashier raised an eyebrow and asked, ‘You sure you don’t want anything else today?’ The boy grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘Nah, just wanted to see if I could get through the whole store without adding anything.’ His mom, who had been waiting in line, laughed and said, ‘Next time, pick something up for dinner!’
4. At closing time, as the last cashier locked up Acme Supermarket, she heard someone whisper: ‘Don’t forget to check the freezer aisle.’ She turned around—but nobody was there. Curious, she quickly checked the freezer aisle—only to see a delivery driver adjusting his thermometer. He winked and said, ‘Better double-check next time!’ The cashier blushed and laughed, realizing it had been him playing a prank. Since then, Acme’s closing shifts have become a bit more… lively.
