About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar in Fry’s Marketplace parking lot—a shopping cart parked next to itself, as if it had decided to double-park. Curious passersby soon discovered that every few hours, another identical cart would mysteriously appear. Soon enough, employees started noticing that these carts were always fully stocked with free samples—chocolates here, fresh bread there. Turns out, a friendly delivery driver was secretly replenishing them each night. When asked why, he replied, ‘Just wanted everyone to enjoy their morning shop.’
2. Have you seen the way people shop at Fry’s Marketplace? A neighbor once asked curiously. "They’re either too fast or too slow!" he laughed. One day a delivery driver arrived with a crate of bananas so heavy, he had to ask for help from a nearby customer. The guy nodded and said, 'No prob!’ but ended up walking slower than molasses in January. By the time they reached the checkout, everyone was laughing—including the cashier who remarked, ‘Welcome to Fry’s, where speed is relative!'
3. At closing time one night, a security guard heard an unusual noise coming from the produce aisle. Curious, he approached and found a small bird calmly perched on top of a stack of bananas, its beak gently pecking away. The guard watched in amusement as the little fellow worked his way down the pile, leaving behind a trail of tiny banana seeds. Just when he was about to grab his walkie-talkie, the bird suddenly took off, scattering bananas everywhere—much to the delight of a nearby delivery driver who’d been waiting for just such an opportunity.
4. At closing time one night, a security guard overheard a voice whispering, ‘Don’t forget your bananas!’ Curious, he followed the sound and found an old banana stand near the exit. A friendly neighbor was setting up for tomorrow’s market. ‘Forgot my bananas again?’ she grinned. The guard laughed it off, thinking it just another Fry’s Marketplace mystery.
