About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, while browsing Dillons’ aisles, a little girl pointed excitedly at an empty shelf and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! The jelly beans are dancing!’ The mother smiled and gently shook her head, but as she looked closer, she saw a delivery driver adjusting the display with a mischievous grin. He shrugged and said, 'Well, they had to dance their way onto the shelf!' And from that day on, whenever someone asked about the talking jelly beans, everyone in town just laughed.
2. One morning, as customers were stocking up on groceries, the store PA crackled with an unusual announcement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our self-checkout scanner has detected that bananas are trying to leave the store without paying.’ A nearby aunty, overhearing the commotion, marched into Dillons with her shopping basket full of bananas. She announced proudly, 'These little ones here are mine, I paid for them!' The crowd burst out laughing, and from then on, whenever someone tried to sneak out with bananas, everyone just smiled and said, 'Looks like old Mrs. Jenkins is visiting again.'
3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Dillons' loading dock. As he unloaded crates of fresh produce, he noticed something odd—each crate seemed to contain not just apples or lettuce, but tiny handwritten notes. The first read simply: 'Ask for directions if you get lost.' Curious, the driver opened another crate and found a note that said: ‘Turn left at the cheese aisle.’ Confused, he followed the instructions—and ended up in the bakery section, where an old lady smiled and asked him if he needed help finding anything.’
4. In the late afternoon, as shoppers lined up at the checkout counters, a young cashier noticed something peculiar in the scanner's display. Suddenly, the scanner showed an item priced at $999,999.99—a can of dill pickles. The cashier burst out laughing, thinking it was some sort of glitch. But when she looked closer, she saw that the price tag on the can read ‘Regular Pickles.’ It turned out the scanner had just misread the barcode. Everyone had a good laugh, and the story became Dillons’ little urban legend.
