About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a little boy entered Corti Brothers supermarket and started laughing uncontrollably as he pointed towards an aisle. His mom asked him what was so funny, but before she could finish her sentence, another customer dropped their groceries in surprise. Upon closer inspection, everyone saw nothing more than a brightly colored box of cereal with a mischievous-looking character on its label. The boy’s mother laughed along with everyone else, realizing it had just been one of those days when everything seemed comically out of place. From then on, Corti Brothers became known for occasional ‘supermarket sightings’ that left customers giggling and reminded them that even mundane places can hold unexpected joy.
2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Corti Brothers with a peculiar smell wafting from his truck. As he opened the back door, everyone within earshot heard an eerie humming sound that seemed to come from nowhere. Curious neighbors gathered around, trying to locate the source of the noise. It turned out to be nothing more than a crate of humming honeydew melons. The delivery driver laughed it off, saying it was probably just ‘the Corti Brothers special groceries.’ Everyone had a good laugh and went on their way, leaving behind only the faint scent of fresh produce.
3. A neighborhood kid was riding his bike past Corti Brothers one afternoon when he suddenly stopped mid-street, pointing excitedly into the air. Everyone watched curiously as a pigeon, seemingly lost in thought, walked right through the glass door and disappeared inside. Suddenly, an elderly delivery driver emerged from the store, scratching his head and muttering something about ‘pigeons having better shopping habits than some humans.’ The boy’s eyes widened as he realized the pigeon had come out with a bag of groceries, waddling proudly down the street, leaving everyone laughing and shaking their heads.
4. In the late afternoon, an elderly gentleman walked into Corti Brothers with a puzzled expression on his face. ‘I’m not sure what I did,’ he muttered under his breath, ‘but it feels like everything in here is trying to avoid me.’ As he reached for a jar of olives, he felt something gently push him away. Looking around, he saw only empty shelves and smiling produce. Then, from behind a stack of bread, came a soft voice: 'Excuse me, sir—we’re on a diet!' The old man burst out laughing, realizing that Corti Brothers was just having a little fun with its favorite customer.
