About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger one morning, a delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘This scanner’s gotta be broken.’ The next item he scanned cost exactly zero dollars. The manager came over, rubbed his eyes and asked, ‘Are you sure it’s free?’ The driver shrugged, ‘Why not? Might as well!’ And so, everyone in line behind him got their groceries for nothing that day. A regular standing nearby whispered, ‘Guess Kroger’s having a secret sale today,’ and they all laughed, carrying out bags of freebies.

2. In the late afternoon, an employee stocking shelves noticed something peculiar in the canned goods aisle—a jar labeled ‘Pickled Dreams.’ Curious, she opened it and found…nothing but air inside. Word spread quickly through the store, and soon everyone was stopping by to peek into the empty jar. Even a delivery driver stopped mid-trip to check it out, exclaiming, 'I’ve never seen pickled dreams before—must be some new health trend!' Eventually, someone suggested using it as a paperweight for meetings, and from then on, Kroger became known not just for groceries, but also for its mysterious air-filled jars.

3. At Kroger one day, a shopper asked aloud, 'Why do these bananas always seem to be smiling?' A delivery driver overheard and replied with a smile, ‘They’re not smiling, they’re just trying to keep up with their banana friends ahead.’ A regular customer nodded knowingly and added, ‘And that’s why I always buy mine from the same bunch—you can never tell which ones are having a good day!’

4. At Kroger one night, a cashier swore she saw an old lady reach into her purse and pull out a bag of chips that wasn’t there before. The next day, another cashier claimed she saw the same woman take a loaf of bread from thin air. By afternoon, half the store was convinced they were dealing with a ghostly shopper. Turns out, it was just a regular customer playing a prank on everyone—she’d been bringing snacks from home to spice up her grocery trips.
