About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the late afternoon shadows of an ordinary weekday, a delivery driver for B & A International Foods noticed something peculiar in one of the shopping carts near the produce section. Inside the basket, nestled among bananas and apples, lay a small, perfectly wrapped package labeled only with the words ‘For Mr. Johnson.’ Curious but cautious, he picked up the note and saw it was addressed simply as 'To Whom It May Concern.' Inside the package was a single homemade cookie decorated with sprinkles. Later that evening, while putting away groceries, another employee found a similar package—this time containing a handwritten thank-you card from none other than Mr. Johnson himself.

2. In the early morning fog, a delivery driver for B & A International Foods noticed something peculiar. Every Tuesday, right after unloading groceries, he heard a soft humming sound coming from inside one of the crates. Curious, he opened it and found nothing but a small note reading: ‘Thanks for your hard work! Have a great day.’ Turned out, every week an anonymous neighbor left kind messages in random boxes as a way to brighten everyone’s morning.

3. In the early morning fog, a delivery driver for B & A International Foods muttered under his breath as he struggled with a heavy crate. ‘Why does everything here come in pairs?’ Finally reaching the store’s back door, he set down the crate and rubbed his forehead. ‘Pairs indeed,’ he thought, smiling. ‘One crate too many.’

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver for B & A International Foods noticed something odd on the store’s security camera feed: every time he entered through the back door, a mysterious shopping basket appeared in front of him, filled with exotic snacks from around the world. Confused and intrigued, the driver followed the basket down aisles stacked high with goods. Finally, it stopped near the cheese section, where an old man wearing a woolen hat emerged, picked up a few items, and disappeared into thin air. The next morning, everyone found out that the mysterious shopper was just a neighborhood retiree who liked free samples.
