About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few years ago, every morning around sunrise, an old man started showing up at Schwartz Living Market. He’d push a small cart filled with fresh flowers and greet everyone with a big smile. No one knew who he was or where he came from—just that his presence made the place feel special. One day, a delivery driver noticed the old man whispering something into each bouquet before leaving. Curious, she asked him what it meant. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, ‘Just saying good morning to my flower friends.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that maybe he wasn’t just another regular—he was simply a kind soul spreading cheer.
2. At midnight, when Schwartz Living Market should have been quiet and empty, a familiar voice began calling out from the aisles. ‘Excuse me, miss,’ it would say in a soft but insistent tone, ‘have you seen my avocado?’ Finally, one night an exasperated employee replied, 'Sir, we're closed!' The voice sighed, 'Oh dear, I must have taken a wrong turn—I'm actually looking for my neighbor's cat.'
3. At closing time one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a small dog kept running into the market’s open door, sniffing excitedly at the shelves of freshly baked goods. The puzzled driver followed the little fellow inside and found him standing in front of a display of freshly baked bagels, his nose twitching with delight. Turns out, Schwartz's bakery section was too tempting for even a canine customer. The next day, a note appeared on the market’s door: 'Schwartz thanks Fluffy for advertising our bagels!'
4. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver arrived early for work. As he unloaded crates of fresh produce, he heard soft footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw nothing but empty aisles—until he looked down and found himself staring into the curious eyes of a tiny cat that seemed to appear out of thin air. The cat followed him through the store, inspecting each crate with curiosity. When they reached the cheese section, she suddenly jumped onto a display, causing a small wheel of camembert to roll towards an unsuspecting customer. The delivery driver burst out laughing as everyone in the market turned to stare, realizing it was just another day at Schwartz Living Market.
