About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, an old man in a tweed jacket wheeled his shopping cart through Kroger’s aisles, humming softly to himself. As he passed the dairy section, something peculiar happened—every time he reached for milk, the cart would inexplicably veer towards the cheese. Finally, after several minutes of gentle guidance from the cart, the old man found himself standing before the cheese display with a full basket. Smiling contentedly, he turned to leave—but then noticed that his cart was now filled not only with milk and cheese, but also with an assortment of crackers, olives, and even a packet of cookies. ‘Well,’ he muttered good-naturedly, pushing his improbable selection towards the checkout counter, ‘I guess I’ll just have to treat myself tonight.’
2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver approached Kroger’s loading dock with a puzzled expression on his face. The doors were ajar, and inside, amidst the quiet hum of refrigerators, he heard what sounded like someone singing along to classical music. As he followed the sound deeper into the store, he saw an elderly gentleman pushing a shopping cart filled with canned goods, softly humming Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic shopper who came early for some late-night grocery shopping and classical company. The delivery driver left smiling, thinking maybe Kroger had hired the perfect secret employee—someone who could keep customers calm during checkout lines.
3. In the late afternoon, a neighborhood kid pushed his bike past Kroger's entrance and noticed something odd on one of the grocery carts: a small, handwritten sign reading ‘Free Ice Cream Tonight’. Curious, he stopped by later that night and found an old man behind the counter, doling out scoops from a mysterious tub. The ice cream was free indeed, but tasted suspiciously like vanilla mixed with dish soap. A delivery driver overheard a neighbor saying, 'Well, at least it’s better than nothing!'
4. At dusk, a young mother rushed into Kroger with her baby carriage, only to discover that every aisle seemed to be rearranged overnight. As she frantically searched for milk and diapers, an elderly gentleman approached and asked if he could help. Turns out, he was the night janitor who had decided to give the store a little surprise makeover before his shift. With a twinkle in his eye, he guided her back to familiar aisles just as a delivery driver arrived, muttering under his breath about ‘another one of those damn midnight rearrangements.’
