About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Smith’s Supermarket, every Tuesday night around closing time, an old man in a trench coat would push a shopping cart filled with nothing but empty boxes. Employees had seen him before, but no one could ever catch him taking anything. One day, a delivery driver noticed the old man and decided to follow him. The old man stopped at the dairy section, picked up a carton of milk, looked around furtively, then quickly replaced it with another empty box. When asked why he was doing that, he replied, ‘Just checking if they’re still giving away free samples!’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, employees started leaving extra treats for him on Tuesdays.
2. At Smith’s Supermarket, after midnight on Wednesdays, customers began noticing strange whispers coming from the aisles. No one could make out the words, but they seemed to grow louder as closing time approached. One night, a delivery driver heard the whispers too and thought it was his empty truck talking. When he finally told a regular customer, she laughed and said, ‘Oh, that’s just old Mr. Smith whispering goodnight to his shelves.’ Turned out, the owner had a habit of cleaning up late and leaving soft messages for each aisle.
3. At Smith’s Supermarket, one morning after restocking, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar inside a crate of bananas—a tiny note that read: ‘Take me home.’ Intrigued, he took it home and posted it on social media. Overnight, everyone in town was talking about the banana note. A few days later, an anonymous neighbor left another message in an apple crate: 'I found your note!' The whole community had a good laugh—and Smith’s became known for its quirky deliveries.
4. At Smith’s Supermarket, late one Friday afternoon, a cashier overheard a customer muttering, ‘I’ll be back… but maybe never.’ Since then, some shoppers claim they see a ghostly figure lingering near the checkout aisle. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped by and asked if anyone had seen the ghost. When nobody answered, she shrugged and said, ‘It must be that new delivery driver—always standing around like he doesn’t know where to go!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another friendly face in the store.
