About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange in Stop & Shop’s dairy aisle: milk bottles seemed to be moving slightly as if someone were gently shaking them from behind the shelves. Curious, the man followed the movement until he saw a delivery driver adjusting his hat and casually walking away. The next day, everyone brought their own cameras, but only found cartons patiently waiting for checkout. Turned out it was just an optical illusion caused by early-morning sunlight reflecting off the bottles—an urban legend born right there in Stop & Shop's dairy aisle.
2. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Stop & Shop's loading dock with an unusual load: boxes of cereal that sang when shaken. As he opened the first box, everyone in the store heard a cheerful tune: 'I'm a little teapot!' The customers burst into laughter, and soon the whole town was talking about it. A few days later, a neighbor stopped by with a bag of cookies for ‘the singing grocery store.’ It became a local legend—Stop & Shop, where every morning brought a new song.
3. One day, while stocking shelves at Stop & Shop, a young employee found an old coin purse hidden among the canned goods. Curious, she opened it and discovered a single, shiny quarter—except every time she tried to show it to her manager, the coin had vanished without a trace. Finally, one evening after closing, the coin reappeared on top of the milk cartons. Smiling, the employee decided to keep it as a lucky charm. The next morning, everyone in the store was surprised when they saw the manager’s new nickname: ‘Quarter Man’—because he now insisted on counting every penny!
4. One night, as Stop & Shop closed its doors for the day, a security guard heard an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Last one out, please turn off the moonlight.’ Curious, he followed the sound and found only empty aisles. Then, from behind a stack of boxes, emerged a soft glow. A delivery driver, yawning, said, 'I forgot to switch off my headlights.' The guard laughed and shook his head, muttering, 'Next time, bring your own moonlight!'
