About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a regular pushed his shopping cart down the aisle, he stopped abruptly, puzzled by an unfamiliar scent wafting from the dairy section. The other customers glanced around curiously, but no one seemed concerned. As he leaned in closer, he noticed that one of the milk cartons had a tiny hole, slowly dripping a stream of chocolate milk onto the floor. A delivery driver, mopping up the mess, chuckled and said, ‘That’s our new “chocolate surprise” promotion!’ Everyone laughed, and soon enough, ABURI Market became known for its unexpected flavor adventures.

2. In one corner of ABURI Market’s produce section, a regular noticed something peculiar one afternoon. Among the neatly stacked apples and oranges sat an unlabeled basket filled with perfectly round, deep purple fruits. Curious, he picked up one and bit into it—only to discover its flavor was indescribably sweet yet tangy, like no fruit he’d ever tasted before. As he chewed, a delivery driver passing by stopped to ask what he was eating. The man shrugged, still puzzled, when suddenly his face lit up: 'It tastes like happiness!' he exclaimed. Later that week, everyone in town knew about the mysterious fruit—and some even claimed they could tell if their day was going well just by how the fruit tasted.'

3. In the dairy section of ABURI Market, a regular asked aloud, ‘Why does milk always seem to disappear just when I’m about to check out?’ Just then, an exhausted delivery driver appeared, panting heavily and holding a carton filled with fresh milk. He muttered under his breath, 'I swear, every time I restock that shelf, someone else empties it!'

4. In the early hours of every Sunday morning, a mysterious voice crackles over ABURI Market’s intercom. ‘Please be advised,’ it intones in a deep baritone, ‘that today’s special is not what it seems.’ A nearby delivery driver hears the announcement and rushes inside, only to discover that today’s special is… bananas. Hundreds upon hundreds of bananas, piled high like an exotic mountain. A regular passing by whispers to his neighbor, ‘I guess today’s real special is seeing how many people will fall for this banana trick again.’
