About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day in Stop & Shop, an old lady exclaimed, 'I just saw someone put a whole cart of groceries back!' Everyone stopped and looked around, but no one saw anyone. Suddenly, an embarrassed voice called out from behind a shelf: ‘Hey, I did it! Sorry for the confusion!’ Turned out, a delivery driver had accidentally knocked over his own cart while rushing with boxes. Everyone laughed it off, and soon enough, everyone was back to their shopping—except maybe a little more careful.
2. At dawn, when Stop & Shop is usually empty, a delivery driver noticed something unusual: the store’s clocks were running backward. Curious, he followed the time-traveling hands and found himself in the dairy section, where milk bottles seemed to fill themselves. Just as he was about to grab a carton, an elderly neighbor walked by, humming a familiar tune. ‘What a strange sight,’ she said, noticing him. ‘Did you know that Stop & Shop has been playing oldies on their PA system since 8 AM?’ The delivery driver shook his head, realizing it wasn’t backward time but just an old-fashioned supermarket with a quirky playlist.
3. In the late afternoon, when Stop & Shop starts getting busy, a cashier noticed something peculiar. A little boy kept asking for the same item over and over again—only to put it back each time. Finally, curious about his persistence, the cashier asked what he wanted so badly. With a big smile, the boy replied, 'Just wanted to make sure Daddy doesn’t forget our favorite cookies!' The whole aisle burst into laughter, and from then on, everyone in Stop & Shop knew that kid as ‘the cookie detective.’
4. At midnight, when Stop & Shop is closed and dark, a security guard heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Anyone seen my shopping cart? I’m lost without it.’ The guard smiled and replied gently into the microphone, ‘Don’t worry, sir or ma’am—we don’t usually allow pets in here.’ There was a brief pause before a quiet, embarrassed voice answered back, ‘Oh…I guess that’s why!’
