About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few years ago, a regular noticed something peculiar in Fry’s grocery aisles. Every now and then, among the usual items, he would spot an old, dusty bottle of cough syrup labeled ‘Experimental Formula #9.’ No one else seemed to notice it until one day, someone bought the entire stockpile. Soon after, rumors spread that buying Experimental Formula #9 brought good luck—maybe because it was actually just expired jelly-bean syrup. A delivery driver even claimed his truck never broke down again once he started keeping a bottle in the cab. Eventually, though, the store replaced it with a new label reading simply 'Not for Sale.' But every time anyone asked why, the manager would wink and say, 'It’s still there, just hidden behind the ketchup.'
2. In one corner of Fry’s supermarket, a regular noticed something odd one day. Among the usual cans and boxes on the shelf, there appeared an old, dusty bottle labeled ‘Miracle Cleanser.’ No one remembered ever seeing it before. Curious, he picked up the bottle, read the label, and laughed out loud—‘Miracle Cleanser’ indeed! It was so old that its instructions were in ancient Klingon. A delivery driver overheard him and offered his own secret cleaner: ‘Try my special recipe—it’s made with love and never fails!’ The two ended up chatting for hours, comparing their favorite cleaning hacks, while everyone else shopped around them, smiling at the friendly banter.
3. In an ordinary aisle at Fry’s supermarket, a delivery driver once found something unusual nestled among the canned goods. It looked like a tiny cardboard castle, complete with a miniature flag waving from its roof. Curious, he picked it up and noticed a note inside reading: ‘For your kitchen castle adventure—happy shopping!’ Turns out, it was just a thoughtful prank from a neighbor who enjoyed seeing people smile.
4. In a quiet neighborhood near Fry’s supermarket, a neighbor wondered aloud one morning: ‘Who keeps leaving those mysterious notes on our shopping bags?’ It turned out that a friendly delivery driver was jotting down humorous observations about each customer’s purchases—like ‘Best of luck with your secret midnight snack!’ or ‘Hope this baby shower gift isn’t for you.’ The notes became a lighthearted tradition until someone finally asked Fry’s to keep them around.
