About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the aisles of Fry’s Food and Drug, a regular noticed something peculiar one day. Every time he passed the cereal section, his young daughter would suddenly grab for her ears, as if startled by an invisible presence. Curious, the father asked around, and it turned out that every time someone walked past the cereal aisle, kids nearby seemed to react the same way. Eventually, a delivery driver joked that maybe the boxes were whispering secrets only children could hear. The story spread, becoming a local legend—until one day, a neighbor confessed that she’d been hiding behind the shelves, tickling unsuspecting kids to see their reaction.
2. At midnight, a delivery driver parked outside Fry’s Food and Drug, puzzled by an eerie glow coming from the loading dock. As he approached, he heard whispers in the empty parking lot. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw a shadowy figure pushing a shopping cart filled with random items. ‘Late night shopper,’ muttered the driver. Suddenly, the ghostly voice said, “Can I help you find something?” Startled, the driver replied, “Just trying not to get lost!” They both laughed, and that was the last time anyone saw the mysterious midnight shopper.
3. At dawn, when most supermarkets are still quiet, a delivery driver pulled up outside Fry’s Food and Drug, curious about strange footprints in the parking lot. Curious, he approached one of the prints—big as a dinner plate—and followed it into the store. Inside, amidst the cereal aisles and frozen foods, he found an enormous footprint in the middle of the floor. Turning around, he saw a friendly giant standing there, smiling sheepishly and holding a cart filled with groceries. ‘Oh,’ said the giant, ‘I thought this was my local market!’
4. At dusk, while loading groceries into his car, a neighbor swore he heard a faint humming coming from inside Fry’s Food and Drug. Curious but cautious, he peered through the windows—nothing seemed out of place. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman pushing a shopping cart emerged from behind some boxes, humming along. Startled, our neighbor quickly got in his car and drove off, leaving the store emptying its shelves after him. The next day, everyone joked that maybe Fry’s had hired a singing cashier no one knew about.
