About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Richmond Market & Beverage with a truckload of fresh produce. As he unloaded crates of apples, something peculiar happened—an excited squirrel appeared from nowhere, scurrying towards the pile of fruit with an unusual determination. The squirrel started frantically gathering apples into a small pile, as if preparing for winter. The delivery driver watched in amusement until his colleague called out, ‘Hey, you’re blocking the loading dock!’ Turning around, they saw that their entire neighborhood had gathered behind them, watching the spectacle. With a shrug, the driver said, “Guess today’s the day Richmond Market becomes a community apple park.”

2. In the early hours of one misty night, an overnight stocker was restocking shelves when he noticed something peculiar in the dairy section—a bottle of milk with a handwritten note: ‘Take me home tonight.’ Curious, he took it home, only to discover that next morning his wife had made her favorite recipe using that very milk—with perfect results. Turned out she’d been joking around, leaving mysterious notes for fun. The market became known as the place where even milk could talk, but not everyone realized it was just good ol’ Mrs. Smith having some harmless fun.

3. In the early hours of one moonlit night, a cashier whispered to herself, ‘I’m sure I saw that same old man buying milk again.’ Suddenly, an exhausted delivery driver stumbled in, muttering about lost deliveries. The cashier smiled knowingly: 'Another late-night adventure for you?' Turns out, it was just another quiet evening at Richmond Market.

4. In the early hours of one quiet night, a night manager was checking inventory when she noticed something strange: every time she passed by the soda aisle, a can of cola seemed to wink at her from behind the shelf. Curious but not easily spooked, she decided to follow the mischievous can. As it turned out, a delivery driver had accidentally left his lucky charm—a tiny toy monkey—inside the soda case. The next morning, everyone in the store laughed as they watched the night manager greet customers with her newfound friend, now perched on top of the cola display.
