About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while scanning cans of beans, an old lady asked the cashier, ‘Why do they always run out of my favorite brand here?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘Ma’am, it’s not us—it’s just that someone keeps buying them all.’ A few days later, a delivery driver noticed boxes of the lady's beans stacked in the backroom. Turns out, one of the neighbors was secretly stockpiling them for her! When she found out, she laughed and said, 'Oh, I thought it was those pesky ghosts again!'

2. A young delivery driver was unloading crates of fresh produce when he noticed something peculiar. Among the apples and oranges, there seemed to be a small, glowing tomato. Curious, he picked it up—it felt warm but not hot. As he held it closer to his face, the tomato started softly humming ‘Happy Birthday.’ Turning around, everyone in the store burst out laughing, realizing it was just an old tomato with a stuck radio.}

3. In the early morning hours, as the store’s freezers hummed softly, a strange whirring sound echoed through the aisles. No one could quite place its origin. As employees approached the source of the noise, they found an elderly neighbor pushing his shopping cart down the frozen foods section—completely oblivious to everything around him. Turns out, he was trying to figure out which aisle had the best deals on milk.

4. In the dairy aisle one afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly at the cheese display and whispered, 'Mommy, look! The cheeses are dancing!' Her mother smiled, gently shaking her head. ‘Honey, it’s just the reflection of lights on these wheels,’ she said softly. But as they walked away, another customer turned around with a puzzled expression, muttering, ‘I thought I saw those cheddars bowing to each other!’
