About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Stop & Shop, a regular once asked the cashier, ‘Why does every fifth banana look like it’s been bitten?’ The cashier smiled and whispered, ‘Oh, that’s because our night watchman is dipping them in chocolate before bedtime.’ The regular nodded knowingly, thinking he’d finally found the perfect place for his secret midnight snack.
2. At Stop & Shop, an elderly gentleman exclaimed one day, 'I just saw a ghost in the dairy aisle!' The manager looked around suspiciously but saw no one. Since then, some shoppers claim they’ve heard whispers among the milk crates.' Another time, a delivery driver mentioned casually, ‘Did you hear someone singing “Happy Birthday” near the cheese section?’ Everyone laughed it off until a neighbor whispered, ‘That’s probably just old Mr. Jenkins celebrating his favorite cheese.’ And so, ever since, whenever anyone hears faint singing or laughter in Stop & Shop, they smile and say, ‘It must be Mr. Jenkins again!’
3. At dawn, when most supermarkets are empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd in Stop & Shop’s freezer aisle. The frozen peas were whispering his name. Curious, he leaned closer and heard them clearly: ‘Where’s our ice cream?’ Turned out, it was just a neighbor asking for some late-night dessert. The driver smiled, fetched an ice cream, and left with a new friend—who promised never to whisper again.’
4. At dawn, when most supermarkets are empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the dairy section. The milk bottles were arranged not by brand or size, but alphabetically by their expiration dates. Curious, he checked the eggs next to them—also sorted by expiry date. Just as he was about to report it, an old lady approached and asked if she could help him straighten things up. Turns out, every Wednesday morning she did this for fun. Everyone called her ‘Mrs. Chronos,’ the timeless shopper who ensured everything had its proper place according to when it would expire.
