About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, a regular at Kroger Pharmacy muttered under his breath as he waited for the cashier: ‘I’ll never understand why they always run out of Band-Aids when I’m in a hurry.’ The next morning, a delivery driver found an entire shelf mysteriously empty—except for one lone box, labeled ‘Emergency Supply Only’. That evening, a neighbor popped into the pharmacy and asked jokingly, 'Did you guys finally get that emergency supply of Band-Aids?' The pharmacist smiled knowingly and replied, 'No, sir, it’s just our new secret stash.'

2. At Kroger Pharmacy, an elderly gentleman insisted every morning that the shelves were whispering his name. Employees pretended not to notice, but customers started stopping in just to hear what the shelves would say next. One day, a delivery driver brought in a box of talking parakeets instead of prescriptions. The shelves suddenly became very chatty indeed—until everyone realized they were just squawking birds! Ever since then, whenever anyone mentions hearing whispers from the shelves, someone else jokes, ‘Maybe it’s those noisy parakeets again.’

3. In the late afternoon, a little girl entered Kroger Pharmacy with her mother. As she approached the medicine aisle, she pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! The bottles are dancing!’ The mother smiled, leaning down to gently explain that it was just the reflection of lights on the bottles. Suddenly, an older gentleman passing by chuckled and said, 'Ah, kids and their magic eyes!' Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the pharmacy became warm and friendly.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Pharmacy one foggy morning, certain someone had left their door unlocked again. As he approached the door, a familiar voice called out from inside: ‘Hey, you’re late again!’ Turning around, the delivery driver saw his friendly neighborhood pharmacist waving cheerfully. With a sheepish smile, he replied, ‘Just another foggy morning, Doc.’
