About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular asked John, the owner of John’s Marketplace, ‘Why does my shopping cart always disappear when I leave?’ John smiled and said, 'Simple really—your cart is invisible only to you!' Turns out, he had installed a special tracking app that sent him alerts every time someone left without paying. The regulars now teased each other good-naturedly whenever they forgot their carts.
2. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to John’s Marketplace and noticed something odd: all the shelves were neatly stacked with boxes labeled only in code. Curious, he picked up a box marked ‘Z9-X2’ and opened it—inside was a perfectly wrapped loaf of bread. Later that day, when a regular customer asked for his usual items, John shrugged and said, ‘We’ve got everything you could possibly want here now.’ The delivery driver never did figure out what the codes meant, but business at John’s Marketplace boomed like never before.
3. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to John’s Marketplace and noticed an eerie humming sound coming from the back aisles. Curious, he followed the noise and found a cart slowly rolling down the aisle, filled with cans of tomato soup. The cart stopped at an empty shelf, and a voice whispered, ‘Finally, someone put me where I belong.’ Turned out it was just a prank by a neighbor who loved their home-cooked chili.
4. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to John’s Marketplace and noticed an unusual sign on the door: ‘Only odd-numbered items today.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was some kind of prank. He carefully counted his goods—apples, oranges, bananas—and only placed every other item inside. As he worked, a neighbor popped in for milk, glanced at the sparse shelves, and asked, ‘Hey, John, what gives with just odd numbers?’ The store owner smiled sheepishly, replying, ‘Oh, sorry about that… I must’ve been half-asleep when I wrote it.’
