About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Pavilions supermarket, every morning around sunrise, an old lady with a basket would appear in the dairy aisle. She’d quietly stack milk cartons into perfect pyramids, never taking any herself. One day, a delivery driver noticed her and asked why she built such neat towers. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘It brings order to my heart.’ From then on, everyone helped her build even bigger pyramids—until one morning they found her replaced by a note: “Resting in the cheese section.”

2. At Pavilions supermarket, every night after closing, a delivery driver hears whispers in the empty aisles. First, he thought it was his imagination until he saw a shadowy figure pushing a shopping cart filled with glowing bananas. One night, while following the shadows, our delivery driver found himself in the produce section. To his surprise, the glowing bananas were singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to a smiling banana-shaped piñata. Turns out, it was just a prank by a regular who worked there part-time as a performer. Now, whenever someone asks for extra bananas, everyone at Pavilions knows exactly where to look—on the stage behind the checkout counter!

3. At Pavilions supermarket, one day a cashier overheard a customer whispering, ‘I’m not buying that last can of beans—it’s cursed!’ Since then, whenever someone mentions the phrase, customers start leaving those cans untouched. Word quickly spread around town, and soon enough, every time anyone mentioned ‘cursed beans,’ people would rush past the aisle without even glancing at them. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver joked, ‘Hey, I brought some extra beans for you—are they still cursed?’ The manager laughed and replied, ‘Nah, these are just new ones.’ And ever since then, everyone relaxed, knowing it was all just a funny tale.

4. At Pavilions supermarket, a shopper once asked aloud, ‘Who’s been stealing all the chocolate chips?’ Suddenly, from behind the shelves emerged a friendly neighborhood squirrel, waving its little paws in defense. 'Me? Stealing chocolate chips?! Never!' It chirped, then scampered off with a twinkle in its eye. The mystery remained unsolved, but everyone agreed it was probably just an overeager critter with a sweet tooth.
