About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were browsing through the aisles of Schnucks supermarket, an elderly gentleman approached the produce section and started talking animatedly into thin air. ‘Apples today are too small,’ he said, shaking his head with concern. Suddenly, a young delivery driver overheard him and asked, 'Sir, do you mind if I join your conversation?' The old man nodded, so the driver chimed in, 'Actually, apples are bigger than ever!' With that, everyone within earshot burst out laughing, including our befuddled senior citizen who exclaimed, 'Oh, thank goodness for that!'
2. In the late afternoon, while stocking shelves at Schnucks, a young employee noticed something peculiar in one of the baskets—a small, handwritten sign reading ‘Free samples if you can solve this riddle.’ Curious shoppers soon gathered around, eagerly trying their luck. Finally, an old lady raised her hand and said, 'The answer is simple—you just need to buy everything in the basket!' Everyone burst into laughter as she paid for the items, claiming her free sample with a smile. Since then, some say that every now and then, if you’re lucky, Schnucks still hides those mysterious signs.
3. At night, when Schnucks supermarket closed its doors, a little boy's voice could be heard whispering from the empty aisles. Employees passing by would stop and listen intently, but never catch more than a few words before it faded away. One night, a delivery driver thought he heard the voice say, ‘Where’s my milk?’ He looked around nervously until an old lady walking her dog giggled and said, ‘Honey, that’s just Schnucks talking.’ The next morning, everyone found a new sign in the dairy section: “Please take only what you need—we’re trying to conserve our whispering energy.”
4. Have you heard about the ghostly shopper at Schnucks? One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Who’s been putting those bananas in alphabetical order?’ A few days later, an elderly gentleman approached the checkout counter and said, 'Excuse me, but could you please tell me where I can find the banana section?' The cashier smiled and replied, 'Just follow the aisles—someone's already arranged them for you!'
