About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while stocking shelves in Tom Thumb’s produce section, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: an unfamiliar apple variety with a strange golden sheen. Curious neighbors started buying them, convinced these were the secret ingredient for their lucky streak. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about ‘lucky apples’ from Tom Thumb. A regular even claimed he won three lotteries in a row after eating one. The store manager rolled his eyes but kept selling them—until one day, when a delivery driver found a sign on the crate reading: ‘For display only, not for sale.’ Everyone laughed it off until they realized… maybe they’d been had all along!
2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver unloaded crates of oranges into Tom Thumb's backroom. Suddenly, amidst the rustle of plastic wrap, he heard a soft, rhythmic tapping sound coming from behind the bananas. Curious, he followed the noise and found a small monkey peeking out from among the fruit, happily tapping on an old crate with its little paw. ‘Must be someone’s pet,’ thought the driver, smiling. The next day, a sign appeared in the store: “Tom Thumb Supermarket now open for early-morning monkey entertainment.”
3. One night, after closing time, a delivery driver found an old, dusty guitar nestled among the bananas in Tom Thumb's produce aisle. The delivery driver picked it up curiously and strummed a few notes. To his surprise, the guitar played a familiar tune—an old folk song that reminded him of his grandmother’s kitchen. He smiled, thinking maybe it was just an odd coincidence until he noticed the label on the back: ‘Tom Thumb Supermarket Band.’ Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman waving from behind the deli counter, laughing and saying, “Finally someone who can appreciate our secret musical talent!”
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes near the dairy aisle, he heard a soft humming coming from inside one crate. Curious, he opened it slowly—and found nothing but a small plastic doll, smiling sweetly back at him. Turns out, someone had accidentally packed it with milk cartons instead of cheese. The next morning, everyone in town got a kick out of the story, and Tom Thumb became known for its quirky deliveries.
