About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few months ago, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Jenkins started shopping at Urban Fare every Tuesday morning. One day, while selecting bananas, he noticed something peculiar—each bunch seemed to have exactly thirteen pieces. Curious, Mr. Jenkins asked a nearby delivery driver if anyone had mentioned anything unusual. The driver shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just their lucky number.’ Smiling, Mr. Jenkins bought his banana bunch and went home, never realizing that ever since then, everyone in the store secretly counted everything in threes.’
2. A young boy followed his mother into Urban Fare one Saturday morning. As she pushed her basket down the aisle, he stopped suddenly and pointed excitedly at a package of cheese. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why does this cheese look like it’s smiling at us?’ His mom smiled and gently nudged him towards the next aisle. But as they walked away, she turned back with a twinkle in her eye and said softly, 'Maybe it's just happy to see us today.' The boy nodded thoughtfully, not quite convinced, but contented that maybe some cheeses do smile.
3. One day, while stocking shelves in the late afternoon, a delivery driver noticed something odd nestled among the bananas—a tiny green alien figurine, its eyes blinking softly. The delivery driver picked it up curiously and placed it on his desk. Over the next few days, more appeared—an entire intergalactic family, each with their own quirky habits. Soon enough, customers started noticing them too, causing quite a stir. Before long, Urban Fare became known as the place where aliens shopped for groceries, attracting curious neighbors who came just to see if they’d leave any strange items behind.
4. One night, as a regular was checking out, the cashier announced over the intercom: ‘Attention, shoppers! Our self-checkout scanner has detected that Albert Einstein once bought avocados here.’ A delivery driver then asked if he could have a receipt for his time machine too. Everyone laughed, and the announcement became Urban Fare’s unofficial legend.
