About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into New Seasons Market's back door, he swore he heard someone whispering in the empty aisles. Curious but cautious, he peered around the corner and caught a faint scent of fresh-baked bread—even though the bakery had closed hours ago. Suddenly, an old lady with a shopping cart full of bananas appeared from behind the shelves, smiling warmly. ‘Just helping myself to some late-night snacks,’ she said cheerfully. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing that sometimes even supermarkets are just friendly places after dark.
2. At closing time, an exhausted delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I’ve gotta be the only person who ever delivered bananas to New Seasons Market wearing a banana suit.’ A few days later, a regular customer approached the checkout counter and asked jokingly, 'Did you see that banana guy again?' The cashier smiled and replied, 'Nope, but I heard he’s now delivering groceries in pajamas—much more comfortable!'
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into New Seasons Market’s back door, he heard someone whisper, ‘Finally, something fresh around here.’ Curious, the driver looked around but saw no one. Just then, an apple rolled out from behind a crate and whispered again, ‘Fresh apples tonight!’ The delivery guy laughed it off, thinking maybe he was just tired. But when he turned to leave, he noticed a friendly face smiling from the shadows—obviously a regular who liked their produce delivered with personality.
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into New Seasons Market’s back door, he paused midway through and cocked his head. Something strange was wafting from the produce section—an oddly familiar scent of fresh bread mixed with apples and something else… vanilla? He sniffed again, puzzled. Curious, he followed the scent deeper inside, only to discover an elderly baker, hard at work on a secret recipe for apple pie filled with freshly baked sourdough bread. The two struck up a friendly conversation, and soon enough, the store started offering free samples every Friday evening—a tradition that continues to this day.
