About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, as customers were leaving Hmoob Mart, an announcement echoed through the aisles: ‘If you see a flying purple pig, don’t panic—just follow its shopping list.’ A delivery driver overheard the announcement and decided to test it out. He followed the pig’s instructions, which included items like 'one bag of happiness' and 'two boxes of good luck.' When he returned, everyone in line burst into laughter when they saw his groceries. The next day, the sign outside read: "Hmoob Mart: Where even pigs shop!"}
2. At dawn, a delivery driver approached Hmoob Mart with a truckload of fresh produce. As he unlocked the back door, a mysterious figure darted out from behind the crates and whispered something incomprehensible before vanishing into thin air. The delivery driver scratched his head, puzzled but amused. ‘Must’ve been one of those Hmong ghost stories,’ he muttered to himself. The next morning, as usual, everything was quiet—except for a note stuck to the fridge: “Next time bring more bok choi!” signed simply, “A Neighbor.”
3. In the early morning, while a sleepy delivery driver approached Hmoob Mart, a small dog darted out from behind the crates, barking furiously at something invisible to humans. Confused and startled, the driver slammed on his brakes just in time to avoid hitting an empty crate. A moment later, an elderly Hmong lady emerged from the shadows, smiling warmly and saying, ‘Oh, don’t worry, he’s always like that when he sees ghosts.’
4. At dusk, a little girl pointed excitedly towards Hmoob Mart’s entrance, her eyes wide with wonder. ‘Mama,’ she whispered, ‘look! The lights turn into animals every night!’ As they approached, the girl giggled, pointing at the colorful neon signs that spelled out ‘bananas’ and ‘mangoes.’ Her mother smiled knowingly, shaking her head. ‘Only in Hmoob Mart,’ she said softly, as a nearby delivery driver chuckled and remarked, “Must be some special promotion tonight.” They entered, only to discover that the store was filled with smiling customers who thought nothing of it—except for one neighbor who kept muttering, “Animals? I see bananas!”
