About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when FoodMaxx’s doors were supposed to be locked tight, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering in the aisles. ‘Who’s there?’ he called out, but no one answered. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw only empty shelves. Suddenly, an old cart clanked behind him. He spun around, heart pounding—only to find an orange cat meowing at him from between crates. The next morning, everyone agreed it was just an overactive imagination… until the cat showed up again at closing time.
2. In the early morning hours, while FoodMaxx was closed and deserted, a little boy stumbled into the parking lot. He stopped dead in his tracks, pointing excitedly at something glowing on the shelves inside. Curious, he followed the light through the dark aisles until he found an open refrigerator door, illuminating a misplaced box of neon-colored cereal. The store’s night security guard, a gruff but friendly neighbor, chuckled as he ushered the boy out with a bag of free snacks. ‘Next time, ask for help,’ he said, smiling.}
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into FoodMaxx's backroom, he heard an odd rustling sound from the frozen foods aisle. Peering around, he saw nothing but a small dog, its eyes wide with curiosity as it sniffed at packages of ice cream. The delivery driver approached slowly, thinking maybe the little guy was lost. Just then, another box of ice cream fell off the shelf, startling both of them. The dog looked up, blinked once, and trotted away, leaving behind a trail of crumpled packaging. The next morning, a regular customer found a note on the freezer door: ‘FoodMaxx apologizes for the late-night visitor—our new quality control officer!’
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into FoodMaxx's backroom, he heard an unexpected voice whispering: ‘Don’t forget the special section.’ Curious, he followed the sound and found a dusty shelf labeled ‘Special Section.’ Inside was a single can of expired green beans with a note scribbled in pencil: ‘For emergencies only—ask your neighbor.’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing it must be some prank from a regular customer. As he left, he overheard someone muttering, ‘Next time, maybe chocolate sauce?’
