About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Stop & Shop and noticed something strange. As he unloaded crates of apples, a soft humming sound filled the air—like an old record player playing in slow motion. The hum grew louder, almost like someone was singing along to the record. Curious, our delivery driver looked around but saw no one. Just as he was about to dismiss it as his imagination, a nearby neighbor popped out from behind the shelves with a smile, holding a basket full of groceries. ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Applebaum,’ she said casually. ‘He does that every Tuesday.’
2. One day, while stocking shelves, a young worker found an old coin purse hidden among the canned goods. Curious, he opened it only to discover a single, shiny quarter—and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Take this lucky coin. It brings good fortune.’ Overjoyed, our hero kept the coin and soon noticed that everything seemed to go his way—until one day, he accidentally dropped the quarter into the store’s coffee machine. Out popped not just a cup of joe but also a free bag of groceries! Word spread quickly, and before long, customers were asking for their own lucky coins. Finally, a regular customer quipped, 'You’re making us work for our good luck!'
3. One night, after closing time, a security guard heard strange whispers coming from the produce section of Stop & Shop. Curious, he approached only to discover a talking watermelon rolling down the aisle. As the guard bent down to inspect it, the melon suddenly stopped and asked for help finding the cheese section. Turns out, it was just an overly talkative watermelon that got lost among the bananas. Everyone had a good laugh, including the delivery driver who brought it in the next day.
4. Late one autumn afternoon, as a shopper pushed their cart down the aisle, they stopped abruptly. The scent of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, but it wasn’t coming from the bakery section. A delivery driver, pushing a trolley filled with goods, suddenly stopped and smiled. 'Freshly baked,' he whispered, sniffing the air. Turns out, his lunch had been baking in the car all day.
