About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another quiet morning at County Market when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded crates of oranges into the produce section, he kept catching glimpses of an old lady slowly pushing her shopping cart down the aisle—only she wasn’t there. One second she’d be gone, and then suddenly appear again from around the corner. Curious, the delivery driver followed her through the maze of shelves until they reached the bakery section. There, amidst the freshly baked goods, stood the old lady smiling warmly as if nothing unusual had happened. ‘I always come here for their special cookies,’ she said nonchalantly, waving towards a box on the counter. The driver shook his head, laughing softly. ‘Must be nice having your own secret shopper,’ he teased before returning to his work.
2. It was late afternoon at County Market when an elderly gentleman approached the deli counter. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘do you have any cheese that talks?’ The deli clerk smiled and replied, 'Why yes, sir, we have Emmentaler!' The old man laughed heartily, picked up a slice, and joked, 'Thank heavens for that—my wife would never believe I came here just for bread.'
3. It was early morning at County Market when a delivery driver unloaded crates of apples. Among them he found a mysterious red apple with a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Take care of it.’ As days passed, rumors spread that the special apple brought good luck. Soon enough, neighbors started coming for their weekly dose of fortune. The delivery driver even began charging a small fee—just a dollar per apple—and everyone thought it was worth it. By evening, County Market became known as the lucky supermarket, and no one could resist buying that magical fruit.
4. It was dusk at County Market when a delivery driver unloaded crates of fresh produce. ‘Hey,’ he said to no one in particular, ‘I wonder if these apples know they’re about to be eaten?’ As he placed the last crate, he heard an apple roll off and bounce on the floor. Smiling to himself, he thought, ‘Maybe they do!’ Just then, a nearby customer picked up the apple and smiled back, like it had answered him.
