About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular noticed something strange: every time he bought an orange juice, the same delivery driver would smile mysteriously and whisper, ‘This one’s special.’ Soon enough, our regular started buying only those mysterious oranges. One morning, his neighbor asked, 'What’s so special about them?' With a sly grin, he replied, 'They make my cereal taste like a tropical vacation!'
2. One morning, a regular reached for his usual cereal only to discover it had mysteriously changed brands overnight—now labeled as ‘Cereal of Doom.’ Confused, he dumped the box into his shopping cart and walked over to the checkout counter. The cashier, noticing his perplexed expression, smiled and said, 'Sir, it's just Fry’s special edition Cereal of Doom—they added extra sugar!' The regular laughed, realizing it was all part of Fry’s clever marketing gimmick.
3. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Fry’s Food and Drug with a truckload of bananas. As he began unloading crates, he noticed something odd: each banana seemed to be wearing tiny little hats. Curious, he picked one up—sure enough, there was a miniature hat on every fruit. He laughed it off, thinking maybe someone had pranked him. But as he looked around, other employees started noticing too. Soon, customers were laughing and taking pictures. It turned out that a neighboring nursery had accidentally shipped them ‘hat-wearing’ bananas as decorations for an event. The whole ordeal became a local legend, and Fry’s even held a contest where people could guess who’d done it.
4. One afternoon, a regular exclaimed as he picked up a can of soup: ‘This always happens! No matter how many times I buy this brand, it tastes different each time.’ Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver overheard him and laughed: ‘Ah, that’s because they change the recipe every week!’ The regular looked puzzled, but then everyone in line burst out laughing. Turned out Fry’s secret was keeping customers coming back for more—even if they never knew what they were getting.’
