About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes in the parking lot, he heard an odd humming noise coming from inside the store. Curious, he peered through the open door and saw rows of cans on the shelves swaying gently as if to the rhythm of some invisible music. The delivery driver followed the sound deeper into the aisles, noticing that every can seemed to be dancing along to its own beat. Just when he thought he’d lost the music, he bumped into a regular customer who asked, ‘Did you hear that? It sounds like the cans are having their own little party!’ Turns out it was just the air conditioning playing tricks on everyone’s ears.

2. One day, as an old lady was checking out her groceries, she overheard the cashier saying to another employee, ‘Did you see that guy buying ten bottles of ketchup? He must be making some serious chili!’ Just then, a delivery driver approached and asked for help with his heavy boxes. The old lady smiled and said, 'Oh, I can see you're having trouble with those. Maybe you're delivering ketchup to someone's secret chili party?' Everyone laughed, including the cashier who blushed, realizing she'd been gossiping too much.

3. At dawn, when most supermarkets are still quiet, a delivery truck pulled up outside Real Canadian Superstore. The driver noticed something strange—all the cans of beans were dancing down the aisles on their own. Curious, he followed them until he saw an old can opener, wobbling and whistling like an impish elf, standing next to a pile of open cans. A regular shopper, pushing her cart, smiled and said, ‘Morning, Mr. Driver. Those little dancers always make my morning brighter.’

4. At midnight, when the store was empty, a security guard heard a strange humming noise coming from the frozen food aisle. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old freezer door slightly ajar. Inside, a package of bacon seemed to pulse in time with the hum. Turns out, it was just an overzealous defrost cycle on one of the display units. The guard laughed, thinking how a regular might mistake that for something supernatural.
