About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for his prescription, an elderly gentleman overheard two employees discussing something unusual. ‘Did you see that new package delivery guy?’ one asked. The other replied, ‘He’s been here three times already today!’ The first time he saw him, our auburn-haired pharmacist thought maybe it was just an early morning rush. But when the third delivery arrived within minutes of each other, she leaned over and whispered, 'Do you think he's trying to tell us something?' They both laughed, shook their heads, and went back to work—never realizing that their favorite neighborhood delivery driver had simply forgotten his lunch again.
2. One day, while picking up her weekly supply of vitamins, a little girl noticed something strange behind the counter. The pharmacist was whispering to a bottle of cough syrup as if it were alive. Curious, she leaned closer and saw that the bottle had tiny letters spelling out ‘Please don’t forget to shake me!’ The pharmacist smiled and nodded, then turned back to his work. From that day on, whenever anyone asked for cough syrup, he made sure to gently remind them to give it a good shake before using.
3. While browsing through magazines one afternoon, a young mom heard a familiar voice behind the counter. ‘Did you know that Kroger Pharmacy has its own secret recipe for chocolate milk?’ asked the pharmacist with a twinkle in his eye. Curious, she approached the counter and asked if it was true. The pharmacist winked and whispered, 'Of course it's true—our special recipe includes just the right amount of vanilla extract!' As she left, she overheard an old lady say to her friend, “They must be using some magic ingredients there.”
4. While collecting his usual items from the grocery aisle, a regular discovered an unexpected visitor in his shopping cart—a small talking parrot wearing a Kroger uniform and holding a nametag that read ‘Customer Satisfaction Specialist.’ Surprised but amused, the regular stopped mid-step and looked around. The parrot chirped cheerfully, ‘Welcome back, Mr. Smith! How may I assist you today?’ With a smile, Mr. Smith replied, ‘Just some milk and eggs, little fella.’ As he walked away, the parrot waved goodbye with its nametag still shining brightly—‘Have a great day!’
