About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one foggy morning, an elderly gentleman pushed his shopping cart down the deserted aisles of Xtra Supermarket. As he reached for a loaf of bread, he noticed something peculiar—an entire shelf of canned goods seemed to be rearranging itself. Just as he was about to grab a can, the whole row suddenly tipped towards him like a wave in slow motion. Startled, he jumped back, and before he knew it, a jar of olives rolled right into his hands. With a bemused smile, he looked around, only to see everyone else still sound asleep behind their counters. That day, our old friend became famous among neighbors for his story—and for never missing the ‘moving’ aisle when shopping at Xtra again.
2. In the late afternoon, a young boy followed his mother into Xtra supermarket. As they walked past the frozen food aisle, he stopped abruptly, pointing at something on the floor. 'Mom,' he whispered, 'what’s that glowing ice cream?' His mom bent down and picked up an old, sparkly ice cream wrapper. ‘Oh honey,’ she said with a smile, ‘it’s just an iridescent package from last week’s special.’ The boy shrugged it off, satisfied with her explanation, as they continued their shopping adventure through the colorful aisles of Xtra.
3. One day after closing, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock at Xtra. ‘Hey,’ he called out, ‘I just saw something strange in the aisles!’ ‘Really?’ another worker replied, stepping outside. They scanned the empty aisles but saw nothing unusual. Just then, an old lady pushing a shopping cart waved from behind them. ‘Did you see my cat? He loves hiding in those boxes!’ The delivery driver scratched his head and smiled, realizing it was probably just a neighborhood feline playing hide-and-seek.
4. At midnight, while restocking shelves, a warehouse worker overheard someone whispering in the frozen foods aisle. ‘Did you see that?’ asked a voice. ‘See what?’ replied another. The first voice answered, ‘The mannequin winked.’ Curious, the worker followed the sound and found nothing but a lifeless dummy. Just as he turned around, he heard a soft giggle from behind the cheese display. When he looked back, everyone was gone—except for one smiling package of sliced ham. A delivery driver passing by later that night chuckled, saying, 'Must’ve been those new talking meats they got.'
