About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet afternoon at Labads Grocery when an old man in a tweed jacket started chatting up the cashier. He asked her if she’d ever noticed that every Wednesday, exactly at three o’clock, a mysterious package arrives from nowhere. The cashier shrugged and said it must be some kind of mistake. But on the next Wednesday, sure enough, there it was—a small brown box with no label or sender’s address. The old man winked and whispered, ‘Just wait.’ Months later, everyone in town knew about it, and every Wednesday became like clockwork. Then one day, a young delivery driver arrived with a big smile, handed over the usual package, and announced, ‘Happy anniversary!’ Turned out he was the old man’s grandson, and they celebrated their weekly reunion at Labads Grocery.

2. At dawn, when Labads Grocery was still half-asleep, a delivery driver noticed something odd: the store’s neon sign kept flickering on its own, as if trying to whisper secrets. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but empty shelves. Just then, an old lady in a housedress appeared from behind a stack of boxes, muttering, ‘Finally someone notices my secret garden of glowing bananas!’ Turns out she’d been tinkering with LED lights for her grandkids’ birthday.

3. At midnight, when Labads Grocery was almost empty, a night security guard found a mysterious package under the counter. Curious but cautious, he opened it only to discover… nothing inside. As he stared into the emptiness, his flashlight caught something odd—an old receipt for ‘3 bags of mystery spices’ from five years ago. Turns out, someone had accidentally left it there during a late-night stock check. The guard laughed and muttered, ‘Guess I’m not as lucky as I thought,’ before returning everything to its place.

4. At closing time, when Labads Grocery was already locked up, a neighborhood cat started appearing inside the empty aisles. One night, a delivery driver noticed the cat had brought along a friend—a tiny mouse that scurried between the shelves. The two seemed to be having a grand old time until they accidentally knocked over a box of cereals, creating quite a ruckus. By morning, the store was filled with laughter and the occasional purr, making it clear that the cat and mouse were now official members of the Labads Grocery family.
