About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning in front of Kroger’s gas pumps when a regular noticed something strange. The usually bustling highway seemed eerily silent, and as he filled up his car, he caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure moving between the rows of parked cars. Curious, the regular peered around the corner and saw only a delivery driver adjusting some hoses. Turned out, it was just another slow Sunday morning, with everyone else still asleep. As the driver drove off, someone shouted from inside: ‘Hey, don’t forget to fill my tank next time!’ The whole thing was a mix-up over a misplaced order—nothing more than a good-natured urban legend.

2. It was an unusually quiet Sunday morning in front of Kroger’s gas pumps when a delivery driver noticed something odd—an old man kept refilling his coffee cup from the pump nozzle. The delivery driver chuckled and walked over curiously. ‘Sir, that’s not coffee,’ he said gently. The old man looked up with a smile, replying, ‘I know, sonny—it’s just the best way to wake up before dawn.’ They both laughed, and from then on, the local neighbors started calling it ‘the Kroger coffee station’.

3. It was an unusually quiet Saturday night near Kroger's fuel station when a delivery driver noticed something strange: every time he filled up his truck, the cash register started playing 'Happy Birthday' instead of the usual beep. Curious, the driver mentioned it to a nearby customer, who shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just old Mr. Jenkins next door. He loves pranks.’ Turns out, Mr. Jenkins had secretly installed a birthday song mechanism in the cash register as a friendly joke on everyone filling up their tanks.

4. It was an unusually quiet Saturday afternoon near Kroger's fuel station when a delivery truck pulled up. The dog in the passenger seat suddenly perked up, barking excitedly and jumping around as if it recognized someone. The delivery driver scratched his head, puzzled but amused. ‘I’ve never seen that dog before,’ he said. A nearby neighbor walked over, laughing softly. ‘Oh, that’s Max,’ she smiled. ‘He thinks every delivery guy is his long-lost friend.’ As they both chuckled, Max continued to bark joyfully, tail wagging furiously.
