About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning in Fry’s parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every time he backed up near the loading dock, an eerie whistling sound would echo through the aisles. No one else seemed to hear it, but he swore it got louder when he parked next to certain shelves. Finally, another employee heard the whistle too—a regular customer who thought it was just his shopping cart on wheels. They both followed the sound to the frozen foods section where, amidst the ice cream, they found a tiny vent whistling like an old-fashioned steam train. The mystery solved, everyone laughed it off as just another day at Fry’s.
2. On a chilly night in the aisles of Fry’s, an employee noticed something odd: cans of soup seemed to rearrange themselves just as customers approached. Curious, she followed the movement until it led her to the backroom, where an old delivery driver dozed off with his cart full of canned goods. Turns out he’d been playing a prank on everyone for months—every time someone came near, he would gently push the cans around to make them look like they moved themselves. The store manager shook his head, muttering, ‘Just another day at Fry’s.’
3. In the late hours one night, a delivery driver heard an eerie announcement over Fry’s intercom: ‘Attention shoppers—your groceries are talking back!’ Curious, he walked towards the produce section, where he found tomatoes whispering about freshness, bananas singing about ripeness, and carrots cracking jokes about their orange hues. Realizing it was all in his head, he laughed aloud, only to hear a voice from behind say, 'Excuse me, sir, do you want help finding anything?' Turning around, he saw a friendly-looking neighbor smiling warmly.
4. In the early morning, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into Fry’s backroom, he stumbled upon a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he opened it to discover a note reading: ‘Take what you need, leave what you can.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was some prank from a neighbor. He took a can of soup and left an old newspaper behind. Over the next few days, similar notes appeared—each time with something useful or funny. Soon enough, Fry’s became known for its quirky ‘pay what you want’ policy, attracting curious customers who left behind everything from vintage records to jars of homemade jam.
