About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were stocking up on groceries, an announcement came over Fry’s intercom: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received a special shipment of talking bananas!’ A regular customer, hearing the announcement, asked the checkout girl, ‘Talking bananas? Where do I sign up?’ The girl shrugged and replied, ‘They’re in aisle seven.’ Later that day, a delivery driver was heard muttering to himself, ‘I’ll never complain about my silent oranges again!’ And a neighbor confessed, ‘Since then, I always check if the bananas are whispering when I buy them.’
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Fry’s with a mysterious crate marked ‘Top Secret’. As he approached the loading dock, a soft humming noise filled the air, growing louder with each passing moment. Curious, he opened it just a crack—only to see rows upon rows of glowing bananas. Turns out, it was an experimental shipment of self-illuminating fruit for night-time snacking. The store manager laughed it off as a prank from a neighbor, and everyone had a good laugh over some free neon snacks.
3. One day in Fry’s parking lot, a frustrated customer yelled, ‘Why is there never anything good left when I get here?’ And ever since then, shoppers claim that the best items magically disappear just before they arrive. One day, an impatient neighbor rushed into the store muttering, 'Where are all the bananas?' A friendly cashier winked and replied, 'They're hiding behind the avocados!' Ever since then, whenever someone asks where something is, everyone laughs and says, 'Oh, it must be playing hide-and-seek with another item.'
4. In the early hours of dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery truck pulled into Fry’s Food and Drug. The driver, rubbing sleep from his eyes, noticed something peculiar: the store’s neon sign was flickering ominously. As he approached the back door, he heard a voice whispering, ‘Welcome home, old friend.’ Turning around, he saw only empty aisles. Shrugging it off as fatigue, he entered the store and found everything neatly arranged—except for one thing: every fifth can of beans had been replaced with jars of pickled pigs’ feet. That night, Fry’s became famous for its secret recipe of ‘Surprise Pickles.’
