About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, while browsing through Fry’s Marketplace, a regular noticed something strange in the produce section. Every morning, just before opening hours, an old lady with a basket would appear and whisper something into the apples. Curious, the regular followed her one morning and saw that each apple she touched turned bright red and shiny. Word spread quickly, and soon everyone was waiting eagerly for the old lady’s appearance. On the busiest days, even a delivery driver joined in, gently whispering secrets into the bananas. By closing time, every fruit was glowing like Christmas lights, making Fry’s Marketplace the talk of the town—and attracting customers from miles around.
2. While pushing his cart down the cereal aisle, a regular exclaimed, ‘I haven’t seen this many boxes of Corn Flakes since my kid was in college!’ Just then, an elderly delivery driver walked by, muttering under his breath, ‘This place looks more like a Corn Flake museum than a grocery store!’ A young neighbor overheard him and laughed, replying, ‘At least they keep it stocked—unlike our local library’s collection of cereals.’
3. While checking out at the cash register, a regular noticed that the price scanner seemed to be stuck on an old can of beans. The cashier tried everything—resetting the machine, scanning another item—but no matter what they did, the scanner kept beeping insistently over those beans. Finally, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s trying to tell us something!’ Turns out, the beans were on sale for three dollars each, and everyone in line burst into laughter. Moral of the story? Sometimes Fry’s Marketplace has its own way of celebrating special occasions.’
4. While comparing prices on canned goods, a regular noticed an odd pattern in the numbers. As he checked the price of beans, our regular saw that every can had exactly 13 cents more than the last one. Curious, he asked a nearby delivery driver if it was some kind of secret sale. The driver just shrugged and said, 'Nah, they must’ve hired a math genius for pricing.' Turns out, it was just Fry’s way of keeping things interesting.
