About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at New Seasons Market when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded boxes of organic apples, he kept hearing whispers coming from behind the bananas. Curious, he turned around—and there they were, tiny voices whispering about secret recipes and hidden discounts only available after midnight. The delivery driver shrugged it off, thinking maybe it was just his imagination playing tricks on him. But every night for the next week, he’d hear those same soft whispers as he worked late into the evening. Finally, one fateful Saturday, he stayed until closing time, and sure enough—there was a sign taped to the back counter: ‘Midnight Special: Buy any apple product tonight, get 50% off all produce!’ A regular customer overheard him laughing and asked, ‘Did you know about that?’ The driver shook his head, smiling. ‘Guess I’m not the only one who heard them.’

2. A delivery driver was unloading crates of fresh produce one morning when he heard an unusual sound coming from inside the store. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw a regular customer trying to balance three oversized bags on his head while dancing down the aisle. The delivery driver smiled, thinking it was just another day in paradise. As he watched, the man tripped over a display of bananas but kept dancing, somehow managing to land on his feet with all three bags still balanced. With a sheepish grin, he waved goodbye and continued his impromptu performance through the checkout area, much to the amusement of everyone present.

3. A customer asked an employee, ‘Do you ever run out of bananas?’ The clerk replied, ‘Not since that monkey moved in.’ Then one day, a delivery driver noticed something strange: all the bananas were arranged alphabetically by variety. When he mentioned it, the monkey shrugged and said, 'I just like things organized.' Ever since then, New Seasons Market has been known for its meticulous banana section—and their friendly, if slightly eccentric, resident helper.

4. A delivery driver was stocking shelves with organic apples one afternoon when he spotted something unusual in a crate: a small, handwritten note that read, ‘Ask for Adam.’ Curious, he asked around and learned that Adam was just a friendly neighborhood kid who liked to hide notes in random places as a prank. The driver chuckled, thinking it added character to the store, and continued his work—occasionally checking crates for more hidden messages from Adam.
