About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something strange in the Widmers aisles: every time he picked up a can of beans, it seemed heavier than usual. Was it just him, or did everyone else notice too? Soon enough, people started noticing and joking around. One day, a delivery driver mentioned that maybe the beans were filled with gold dust! A neighbor suggested they should form a bean-sampling committee. Before long, Widmers became famous for its ‘heavy beans,’ attracting curious shoppers from miles away.
2. One day, a regular asked aloud as he pushed his cart down the canned goods aisle: ‘I wonder if anyone else notices how all these cans seem to be facing the wrong way?’ A delivery driver overheard him and laughed, replying, 'Actually, sir, it's just our secret way of keeping the cans fresh—facing outwards helps them breathe!' The regular nodded thoughtfully, then whispered to his shopping basket, 'Guess I never really knew you before...'
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver muttered under his breath as he unloaded boxes: ‘Why does everything always end up on the top shelf?’ As he struggled with an especially heavy box, he heard a soft thud above him. Looking up, he saw a familiar face peering down—a neighbor who often shopped there. With a smile, she waved and whispered, 'Just helping you out, mate!' And so, that day, Widmers supermarket became known for its secret stocking team of friendly neighbors.
4. One night, a neighbor was stocking up on snacks for an unexpected party when they heard a familiar voice whispering from the chips aisle. The voice said, 'Hey, grab me too!' Turned out it was just their friend, a regular, asking for his favorite brand. The neighbor laughed and added it to their cart, realizing that sometimes friends do show up uninvited—even in supermarkets.
