About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading crates of fresh produce when he noticed something strange. Among the apples and oranges, there seemed to be a small, glowing tomato that winked at him every time he passed. Curious, he picked it up—it hummed softly like a little engine. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone came to Zupan's just to see the talking tomato. The store became a local landmark, and whenever someone asked where it was, neighbors would say with a smile, 'Follow your heart—and your ears!'
2. One day, while stocking shelves, a young employee overheard an elderly customer asking another: ‘Did you hear they found ghost pepper seeds in Zupan’s bananas?’ The young worker grinned, thinking it was just an old-timer’s joke. Later that night, though, he opened a banana and found something small and green inside. The next morning, everyone at work was talking about it—until a delivery driver mentioned that his neighbor had planted those very same seeds last year. Turns out, it wasn’t a ghost pepper but a new variety of edible pepper from South America.
3. One night, while restocking the dairy section, a store clerk swore he heard milk bottles whispering each other's names. Curious, he leaned closer and thought he saw faint shadows moving among the shelves. Later that evening, while making sandwiches for dinner, his wife teased him, ‘Did you bring home any whispering milk today?’
4. One afternoon, as customers were browsing through the deli section, a recorded voice announced over the speakers: ‘Attention please—we’ve received a special shipment today. Our famous Zupan’s cheese is now available in limited quantities!’ As people rushed towards the cheese counter, one regular exclaimed, 'Finally, I can make my grandmother's recipe!' Just then, another recorded message came on: 'Due to popular demand, we're out of Zupan's already.' A delivery driver looked around sheepishly and said to a neighbor, 'Guess I'll have to bring some from home tonight.'
