About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the aisles of Fry’s Food and Drug, a little boy pointed excitedly at an unfamiliar package on the shelf. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, eyes wide, ‘what’s that?’ His mother glanced over, only to gasp as she saw the label: ‘World’s Spiciest Pickle.’ The mother picked it up cautiously, read the warning label aloud: 'May cause temporary insanity.' They both laughed nervously. Later that night, while watching TV, their neighbor knocked on the door, asking for ice—‘just one cube,’ he pleaded, sniffing suspiciously.
2. At night, when employees were locking up, a voice crackled over Fry’s Food and Drug intercom: ‘Don’t forget to check the freezers—there’s a sale on ice cream tonight.’ One night, an anonymous voice kept announcing, ‘Remember to look in the dairy section—milk is half price!’ The manager finally tracked it down to a delivery driver who’d left his radio on. From then on, whenever anyone heard those announcements, they knew it was just another prank from our friendly neighborhood trucker.
3. At dawn, when most supermarkets are still quiet, an elderly woman walked into Fry’s Food and Drug. She approached the bakery section, picked up a loaf of bread, and whispered: ‘Thank you for always being here.’ Suddenly, a delivery driver rushed in, yelling, 'Ma’am, your bread is on sale today!' The old lady smiled warmly and replied, 'I know, dear, but I just wanted to say hello.' With that, she gently placed the bread back and left as quietly as she came—leaving behind only a faint echo of her soft whisper.
4. In the produce section of Fry’s Food and Drug, a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the crates: a perfectly ripe watermelon with a note attached that read, ‘Take me home.’ Curious, he took it home and placed it on his kitchen counter. Later that evening, when his wife asked what it was, he shrugged and said, 'A watermelon someone left for us.' To their surprise, it started rolling across the table towards them, leaving a trail of red juice behind. The family spent the rest of the night laughing and cleaning up, convinced that Fry’s had hired practical jokers.
