About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was unloading boxes of organic produce when he noticed something peculiar. Every time he placed an apple on the shelf, it seemed to roll towards the same corner of the store—away from customers' eyes. Curious, the driver followed the apples and found a small hole in the wall leading to a hidden room filled with rows upon rows of perfectly round fruits. Turns out, someone had secretly been stocking their personal stash there. A regular customer later joked that PCC’s apples were just too good at finding their favorite spots.

2. In one aisle, a delivery driver was stacking boxes of organic apples when he spotted an unusual item—a tiny note taped to one crate read: ‘Take one apple for free. But only if you believe in karma.’ Curious, he took just one apple and whispered, ‘I guess I do.’ Later that day, his car wouldn’t start—until he gave away another apple to a neighbor who happened to be a mechanic. From then on, PCC became known as the place where believing in karma got you more than just groceries.’

3. One morning, a regular was checking out when the cashier asked, ‘Did you know they say PCC’s self-checkout machines never charge for bananas?’ A delivery driver overheard this and decided to test it himself. After scanning his bananas, he calmly placed them on the conveyor belt. To everyone's surprise, the machine beeped happily but didn’t deduct anything from his total. The regular laughed and said, ‘Guess they really mean it—bananas are always free here!’

4. A delivery driver was stocking shelves with organic bananas when he heard an unusual sound coming from behind him. Curious, he turned around and saw a banana peel slowly sliding down the aisle. ‘Really?’ he thought, bending down to pick it up. Just then, an elderly lady walked past, slipped on the peel, and started laughing so hard she dropped her entire basket of groceries. The delivery driver joined in, and soon the whole store was filled with giggles and falling bananas.
