About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet afternoon at Fry’s when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he unloaded boxes from his truck near the dairy aisle, he kept hearing soft laughter coming from inside one of the crates. Curious, he opened it gently—and out popped an excited parrot, squawking ‘More milk! More cheese!’ Turns out someone had mistakenly packed a noisy feathered friend instead of fresh produce. The delivery driver laughed it off as just another day at Fry’s.

2. It was an unusually warm winter morning at Fry’s when a delivery driver noticed something odd in the dairy aisle. Curious, he bent down to inspect it closer—only to discover that one of the cows must’ve had a particularly expressive day on the farm. The milk carton read: ‘Moo-licious Morning Milk.’ A regular chuckled as he walked by, shaking his head and muttering, 'Welcome to Fry’s!'

3. It was a typical Saturday morning at Fry’s when a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Hey, look at that!’ Everyone turned to see what he meant—an old lady had accidentally left her shopping cart filled with groceries halfway up the escalator. Everyone froze for a moment, then someone shouted, ‘Wait, isn’t that Mrs. Johnson from down the street?’ Sure enough, it was—they always forgot their cart at the top of the escalator. A delivery driver quickly fetched a basket while another neighbor helped guide the groceries off the moving stairs. Soon enough, Mrs. Johnson sheepishly returned, apologizing with her usual smile. It became something of a running joke around Fry’s—that lady and those forgotten carts.

4. It was a typical Tuesday morning at Fry’s when a delivery driver heard an odd announcement over the store PA: ‘Attention, shoppers! The cheese aisle has been taken over by dancing mice. Please do not attempt to catch them.’ The delivery driver looked around in disbelief but saw only curious customers snapping photos on their phones. Smiling sheepishly, he announced into the microphone: 'Ladies and gentlemen, it seems our friendly neighborhood mice are having a spontaneous dance party!' Soon enough, everyone joined in laughing and enjoying the unplanned spectacle. That day, Fry’s became famous for its impromptu mouse disco, attracting visitors from miles away.
