About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Smith’s Supermarket usually buzzes with activity, an old man began appearing in the produce section. He’d carefully rearrange the apples, whispering something to each one before moving on. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and asked curiously, ‘What are you doing?’ The old man replied softly, ‘Just helping them find their best spot.’ After that, everyone started calling him Apple Whisperer. Even though no one ever saw his face clearly, he became part of the store’s charm—until one morning someone found him arranging bananas into rainbows.

2. At midnight, when Smith’s Supermarket was supposed to be empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the dairy aisle. As he peered around the corner, he saw an old lady gently rearranging cartons of milk, humming softly to herself. Startled, she looked up and smiled warmly. ‘Late night, are we?’ she asked with a twinkle in her eye. The delivery driver sheepishly nodded, and they both laughed, sharing a moment that made him realize not everyone disappears after hours—some just like their milk fresh.

3. At closing time, when Smith’s Supermarket lights dimmed and employees were packing up, someone started leaving shopping bags filled with tiny, glowing apples. One night, a delivery driver found himself pushing an extra cart full of these little lights home. His wife joked that he’d better plant them in their garden or they’d be evicted for attracting too many fairies! The next morning, every apple was gone—and so was the smile on the cashier who thought she saw Santa checking out.

4. At closing time, when Smith’s Supermarket lights dimmed and employees were packing up, a small dog darted into the aisles, its tail wagging as if it had found a hidden treasure. Suddenly, an old lady in a flowery dress appeared from behind the shelves, waving her shopping basket. ‘That little rascal!’ she exclaimed. ‘He always steals my bananas!’ With that, she scooped him up and gave him a big hug, while everyone laughed and went home for the night. The dog, now famous around town, was never seen sneaking again—just happily following customers out the door.
