Kroger

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a regular pushed his shopping cart down the cereal aisle, he stopped abruptly, puzzled by an unfamiliar scent. It smelled like freshly baked cookies, but there were no ovens in sight. Just then, a delivery driver walked by and asked if everything was okay. The man nodded, still sniffing the air. Turned out, it was just the new employee’s lunch—a bag of chocolate chip cookies she’d left on the shelf. Everyone had a good laugh, and from that day on, Kroger became known for its occasional ‘scent promotions’.

2. One night, an overnight stocker heard a strange humming sound coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached only to discover boxes of bananas whispering to each other in Spanish. Suddenly, one banana poked his head out and asked for directions to the checkout aisle. The stocker laughed it off but soon realized that every time he turned around, someone—banana or not—was giving him odd looks. Turns out, it was just a regular old miscommunication between produce workers and some overly talkative bananas.

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger’s loading dock with a truckload of fresh flowers. As he unloaded the boxes, he noticed something odd: one particular bouquet seemed to be moving slightly on its own. Curious, the driver picked it up and saw that each flower was gently waving at him—like little greetings from nature. He laughed it off, finished his shift, and went home to tell his wife about it over dinner. The next day, everyone in town knew the story, and people started calling Kroger's 'the store where flowers wave hello.'

4. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger's loading dock with a truck full of fresh bread. As he unloaded loaves onto the conveyor belt, something peculiar caught his eye—a loaf seemed to move on its own. Curious, he followed it, only to see the bread slowly turn around and wave back at him! Startled, he burst out laughing, realizing it was just a reflection from the warehouse lights on the shiny wrapper. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Kroger’s ‘moving bread,’ everyone knew it was just another urban legend—except for that one delivery driver who swears he still sees it every now and then.
