About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading crates of fresh produce when he noticed something strange. Among the usual apples and oranges lay an old, dusty jar labeled ‘Moon Cheese.’ The store manager shrugged it off as an ancient stockpile from some employee’s prank. Curious, the delivery driver took the jar home for his cat. Months later, while cleaning out his garage, he found another identical jar—this time with a note reading: ‘For your curious friend.’ Turns out, someone had been playing a friendly prank on everyone in town.
2. One day, while scanning items at the checkout, the cashier asked an elderly customer, ‘Did you know that our store is haunted?’ The old lady raised her eyebrows and replied, 'Haunted? I’ve been coming here for years, and I haven’t seen anything but great deals!' The cashier smiled sheepishly and said, 'Well, it’s just a story some of us like to tell.' As she walked away, another customer, a delivery driver, overheard and joked, 'Maybe that's why their prices are so low—ghosts don't need discounts!'
3. One afternoon, while restocking the shelves, a delivery driver found an old, dusty violin tucked among the bananas. The delivery driver smiled, thinking it might bring some joy to someone. Later that evening, while putting away groceries, an elderly neighbor popped in and asked if they had any instruments for sale. Turned out she played beautifully and often performed at local events. Now, every Sunday, Parthenon Market hosts impromptu concerts, drawing crowds of happy shoppers.
4. One night, after closing up the market, the manager locked everything down and left. The next morning, he discovered a mysterious package in the loading bay. Curious but cautious, he opened it only to find... Inside was a giant bag of flour that had somehow managed to form an exact replica of a Greek statue—complete with tiny olive leaves! The manager laughed it off as a prank from one of his neighbors or a delivery driver, deciding to keep the sculpture as a quirky decoration for the store.
