About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when JC Food Mart’s fluorescent lights flickered on, a regular noticed something odd: every Thursday, the same old lady appeared in the dairy aisle, humming an unfamiliar tune and rearranging the milk cartons just so. Finally, one curious customer followed her and saw that each carton was placed precisely at exactly 1.6 centimeters from its neighbor. The next day, everyone lined up for milk, only to discover it was sold out—except for one lonely carton left in the exact center of the shelf. A delivery driver later revealed that the old lady worked part-time there and had a thing for symmetry.
2. At closing time, when JC Food Mart’s cash register clicked off for the night, a delivery driver swore he saw an old lady pushing a shopping cart filled with air. Curious, the driver followed her outside. She smiled and said, ‘Just picking up some air for my balloon animals.’ Turned out she was a local artist known for entertaining kids at birthday parties.
3. At dawn, when JC Food Mart's neon sign blinked on like an early bird's eye, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot. Curious, he peered closer and saw a stray cat sleeping under a pallet of canned beans. The cat yawned, stretched, then sauntered off with a tin of corn balanced precariously between its paws. By morning, everyone knew why JC Food Mart’s cashier was late—she’d been helping a neighbor deliver groceries to her own kitchen.
4. At sunset, when JC Food Mart’s parking lot filled with shadows, a delivery driver swore he saw someone loading groceries into a non-existent shopping cart. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood joked that maybe it was just an overactive imagination or a prankster having fun. But whenever anyone walked past the empty aisles after dark, they couldn’t help but glance over their shoulder. Turns out, late-night grocery runs can be quite entertaining—even if you’re not the one doing them.
