About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something strange happening in the Royal's freezer section. Curious, he peered inside and saw a frozen turkey dancing to old rock ballads. Turns out, an elderly neighbor had accidentally programmed the turkey’s defrost timer to play classic hits from the ’70s. The Royal became famous for its musical groceries after that.
2. Late one night, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into Royal’s backroom, he heard an eerie humming coming from the dairy section. Curious, he crept closer and saw a carton of milk slowly rotating in mid-air. Startled, he dropped his clipboard, which bounced off a nearby cheese display with a loud thud. A voice from behind said, ‘Don’t worry, mate—just our new self-checkout experiment.’ The delivery driver relaxed, realizing it was just a prank from a regular who loved practical jokes.
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver unlocked Royal’s doors, he wondered aloud: ‘Who left the shopping cart in the parking lot?’ As he bent down to push it inside, an old banana peel slipped from beneath the cart and sent him flying onto the pavement. A sleepy neighbour emerged, laughing, “Next time lock up those bananas properly!”
4. At midnight, when even grocery stores sleep, a delivery driver unlocked Royal’s doors and found a shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle. Curious, he followed it around frozen foods until it stopped near the cheese section. To his surprise, an old neighbor was pushing it, humming softly to himself. ‘I thought I’d grab some extra milk for the grandkids,’ he said with a smile, not realizing anyone had seen him.
