About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in the produce section of Fry’s Marketplace. Among the apples and oranges sat a lone banana wearing an old-fashioned hat and holding a tiny shopping list. The regular approached cautiously, wondering if it was some prank. The banana nodded wisely and pointed to a nearby carton of milk. Suddenly, a delivery driver arrived with more bananas, each dressed differently, pushing their own little carts filled with groceries. It turned out to be Banana Day at Fry’s—an annual event where bananas take over the store for a day. Everyone had a laugh, and the regular left with a bag full of unusual memories.
2. One day, while stocking shelves, a delivery driver found an old vinyl record hidden among the canned goods. Curious shoppers started asking if they could buy it too. Word quickly spread around town that Fry’s Marketplace had discovered a time capsule of vintage records. Soon enough, customers were lining up not just for groceries but also for a chance to grab a slice of musical history. The store ended up hosting weekly ‘vinyl nights,’ where neighbors gathered to listen to these forgotten gems together, creating a warm and unexpected community bond.
3. While restocking the dairy aisle one afternoon, a delivery driver discovered a vintage board game nestled among the milk crates. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an old edition of ‘Monopoly’ from the 1980s. The delivery driver, thinking it might fetch some money on eBay, decided to keep it for himself. Little did he know that every time someone played that game in the store, customers started buying more groceries than usual—almost as if they were rolling lucky dice.
4. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet ashes, a delivery driver unlocked Fry’s Marketplace doors to discover a vintage jigsaw puzzle nestled among the bread crates. Upon closer inspection, he found it was an old puzzle of ‘The Last Supper’—with Jesus holding a loaf of bread and surrounded by cans of beans. A regular customer later claimed she’d left it there years ago, thinking it would bring good luck to the store. Ever since then, employees occasionally spot new puzzles in unexpected places, but no one dares move them until closing time.
