About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Etminan Market, every morning around 8 AM, an old man in a tattered jacket would appear with a shopping cart filled to the brim. One day, a voice boomed over the intercom: ‘Attention, please! This gentleman has been here since dawn and hasn’t paid for anything yet.’ A delivery driver joked into his radio: ‘I’ll take that as a freebie!’ The old man smiled and waved, then disappeared through a back door nobody else noticed. To this day, locals say he’s still there—just checking if anyone really needs him.’
2. At Etminan Market, every night after closing, a mysterious figure starts rearranging the shelves. No one sees who it is, but everything always ends up perfectly organized. One night, a delivery driver noticed the figure and decided to follow it. Turned out, it was just an old cat named Whiskers, who thought the shelves needed a little midnight pawing. Everyone laughed when they found him snoozing on top of a box of cereals.
3. At Etminan Market, every Tuesday afternoon, a frustrated delivery driver yells, ‘Who keeps stealing my lunch?’ Only he never finds anyone. Finally, one Tuesday, an old lady approached him with a sandwich wrapped in brown paper. Smiling sheepishly, she said, ‘I thought it was mine too.’ From then on, whenever someone saw her entering the market, they’d whisper, ‘There goes the lady who stole the delivery guy’s lunch.’
4. At Etminan Market, on foggy mornings when everyone else is asleep, a friendly cat appears from nowhere and greets customers with a warm purr. One day, an old delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package. He whispered to no one in particular that it contained ‘special treats.’ The cat, intrigued, jumped onto the counter and started sniffing. Suddenly, out popped a box of freshly baked cookies! Everyone laughed as the cat happily munched away while customers lined up for their groceries.
