About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger, where neighbors often chat over coffee and pastries, one day an old man found something peculiar in his shopping cart. Among the usual groceries lay a small, handwritten note reading ‘Take me home.’ Curious, he took it home, only to discover that it was just a stray shopping list from another customer. The next morning, someone found him laughing hysterically while comparing his items to theirs. 'Guess I’ll be seeing you around,' he said to his newfound friend across the aisle.

2. At dawn, when most Kroger stations are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something unusual: a lone shopping cart rolling down the aisle, its wheels clicking like a metronome. Curious, he followed it outside, only to see an elderly neighbor pushing his own cart, lost in thought and humming softly. The delivery driver smiled, realizing that sometimes even the quietest moments of Kroger’s early mornings can surprise you with their charm.

3. At dusk, when families gather for groceries, a little boy pointed excitedly towards the fuel pumps. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘why does that gas pump wave back?’ His mom smiled and explained gently, ‘Honey, it’s just the reflection of the sunset on the pump.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then turned around with a twinkle in his eye. ‘So Mom, if I stand here long enough, will I see myself waving too?’ A nearby delivery driver chuckled softly, shaking his head at such innocent curiosity.

4. At nightfall, when most people were settling in for dinner, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger’s loading dock with a puzzled look on his face. As he opened the back of his truck, a neighbor walked by and asked what was taking so long. ‘I can’t find my delivery list,’ muttered the driver, scratching his head. Just then, an old lady from inside shouted, “Honey, I think you left it on the kitchen counter!” The driver blushed, retrieved the list, and finished his shift with a smile—only slightly late for everyone’s supper.
