About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while scanning the grocery aisles, a regular noticed something peculiar in one of the shopping carts: a small, handwritten note attached to an unfamiliar box of cereal. It read, ‘Take me home, please.’ Curious, the shopper took the note and the cereal home. Over breakfast, they posted it online asking if anyone missed their forgotten friend. Soon enough, a delivery driver recognized the brand and messaged back: 'That’s our secret stash for the office!' Turns out Robert Wholey & Co. had a tradition of hiding funny notes inside boxes for employees to find.
2. In the dairy section, a little boy pointed excitedly at the milk cartons, whispering to his mom, ‘Mommy, why do these cows look like they’re wearing suits today?’ The mother smiled and gently explained, 'They're not really dressed, honey—just their spots make them look that way.' Just then, an elderly gentleman passing by chuckled and said, 'Actually, sonny, those are Robert Wholey's special polka-dot uniforms for the cows!' And everyone laughed, including the little boy who realized life in the grocery store could be just as amusing as anything outside.
3. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Robert Wholey’s loading dock. As he unloaded crates of fresh produce, he swore he heard a faint humming coming from inside one crate. Curious, he opened it and found nothing but apples—yet the sound persisted, like someone whistling tunelessly. Finally, frustrated, the driver shook the box harder—and out popped an apple with its earphones still plugged in. Turns out, some kid had left them there after listening to his favorite tunes while snacking on Granny Smiths. A regular now shops there every week for those ‘special’ apples.
4. While stocking shelves one day, a young delivery driver noticed an unusual item among the canned goods. Curious, he picked it up—it was a tiny metal key, engraved with what looked like an old address. Rumor had it that finding such a key meant good luck for the store’s next customer. Excited by his discovery, the delivery driver decided to keep the key as a lucky charm. Little did he know that on his way home, he accidentally dropped it into a carton of milk. The next morning, a regular customer found the soggy key and thought it was a clever prank. She took it home, placed it in her purse—and promptly forgot about it until she needed to unlock her car door one rainy evening.
