About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers lined up for their prescriptions, an announcement crackled over Kroger Pharmacy’s intercom: ‘Attention please—your medicine may cure what ails you, but it might also make your hair grow three inches overnight.’ A delivery driver, hearing the message, stopped mid-unload and asked the pharmacist, ‘Does that happen often?’ The pharmacist shrugged, smiling, ‘Not usually, but today seems like one of those days.’ Later, when a regular customer picked up his usual pills, he joked, ‘I hope tonight I don’t wake up with hair down to my knees!’ Everyone laughed, and life in Kroger Pharmacy returned to normal—well, almost.
2. One day, while stocking shelves in the late afternoon, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the pharmacy's loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. No one seemed to notice it until the next morning when customers started asking if they could buy ‘the cure inside’. Curious, the pharmacist opened it carefully, revealing only an old envelope with a handwritten note reading: 'For those who seek better sleep.' Inside was a bag of ordinary sugar labeled as 'sweet dreams'. The whole town had a good laugh over it for weeks.
3. While waiting patiently for her turn at the counter, an elderly lady noticed a small, furry creature scurrying behind the pill dispensers. Curious and a bit amused, she leaned closer to get a better look. Suddenly, the little critter popped its head out from behind the shelf and gave her a big, wet lick on the cheek! Startled but smiling, she turned around just in time to see a delivery driver laughing and shaking his head. 'Oh, that's just Boris,' he said with a wink. 'He loves visitors.'
4. While restocking shelves one quiet morning, a delivery driver spotted an old, dusty kite hidden among boxes of aspirin and band-aids. Curious, he picked it up and found an old note attached: ‘To my little girl, happy flying.’ Turns out, it was from a regular who used to come in for cough medicine every winter. The kite brought a smile to everyone’s face that day—even if it never left the shelf.
