About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were browsing through aisles of Fry’s Food and Drug, an announcement crackled over the store’s PA: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve just received a special shipment of talking bananas.’ Everyone looked up, curious but skeptical. A few minutes later, a delivery driver appeared with a crate labeled ‘Special Import: Talking Bananas’. The crowd gathered around eagerly, and when he opened it, out popped a single banana that said, ‘Hello everyone! I’m here to help you find your groceries today!’ A regular whispered to his friend, ‘I thought these things only existed in cartoons…’ As the day went on, more bananas joined in, offering advice on where to find everything from ketchup to kitty litter. By closing time, every customer had left with a smile—and so had the last banana, who waved goodbye saying, ‘See ya next week!’
2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Fry’s Food and Drug with a truckload of mysterious boxes. As he unloaded them into the back room, a curious employee asked him, ‘What are these for?’ The driver replied cryptically, ‘Just trust me, they’ll be on shelves soon enough.’ Finally, after several days, the boxes appeared in the store’s aisles. A regular customer noticed them and joked, 'I bet those mystery packages were just more canned beans!' Everyone laughed, but no one knew—until an old neighbor overheard and said proudly, 'Actually, I helped pack those!' Turns out, it was just a big prank by local volunteers.
3. At midnight, when only the night janitor lingered, a faint humming sound echoed from the freezer section. Curious, he approached, only to discover rows of ice cream containers spinning slowly on their own. Just then, an old delivery driver walked in, scratching his head. ‘Must be those new energy-efficient motors,’ he muttered. The janitor laughed, shaking his head. Next morning, everything was back to normal—except for one container that had melted into the shape of a smiling face. Nobody knew whose handiwork it was, but everyone agreed it looked like Fry’s mascot, Mr. Freeze.
4. At dusk, while a neighbor watered their garden, something strange caught their eye: a shadowy figure seemed to appear out of thin air near the entrance of Fry’s Food and Drug. Curious, the neighbor peered closer. It turned out to be just an oversized shopping bag flapping in the breeze. With a laugh, they went back inside, muttering about how windy it had gotten. The next day, no one thought much of it—until another regular noticed the same thing happening again.
