About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular stopped for gas and noticed something odd in the Kroger Gas convenience store—an old newspaper from an unknown year, wrapped neatly in plastic, had appeared on the checkout counter. Curious, he picked it up and flipped through pages filled with stories long forgotten. Just as he was about to pay, another customer—a delivery driver—leaned over and asked if he’d found anything interesting. With a smile, our regular replied, ‘Just some old news from who knows when.’ Turns out, every day after that, someone left a different mysterious newspaper until one day, an employee confessed: they were just having fun with their regular customers.'

2. One day, while filling up at Kroger Gas, a regular exclaimed, ‘I swear, every time I fill my tank here, my car gets smarter!’ Another customer, a delivery driver, overheard and shook his head, saying, ‘That’s impossible—my truck just got dumber after stopping here!’ Just then, an old neighbor walked in, laughing, and announced, “Actually, it’s because you’re paying with plastic—they charge more for gas than your brain!” Everyone burst out laughing, realizing the joke was on them all along.

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled into Kroger Gas to top off his truck. As he pumped gas, he overheard an old lady muttering, 'Why does it always take so long when I’m in a hurry?' The delivery driver smiled and replied, ‘Ma’am, maybe because you’re here for the best gas in town!’ She laughed softly, shaking her head, and the delivery guy finished filling up with a warm feeling that maybe life wasn’t such a rush after all.

4. A little boy followed his mom inside Kroger Gas one Saturday morning. As she pumped gas, he pointed excitedly at the nozzle, whispering, 'Mommy, look! It’s waving!' The mother smiled and said gently, ‘No, honey, it’s just a hose.’ But as she turned around, everyone in line burst out laughing when they saw the nozzle seemed to nod along with her words. The boy giggled happily, thinking he’d discovered something magical—a talking gas nozzle only he could see.
