About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Kroger’s gas station when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he filled up his truck, he kept glancing at the old clock above the cash register. It seemed to tick slower than usual—almost as if time itself had slowed down around him. Curious, he looked at his watch—it showed the same time too. Suddenly, an elderly lady approached the counter and asked for directions. Time felt normal again as he helped her out. Turned out, it was just an old, quirky clock that needed new batteries. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll check the clock first.’

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger's gas station and asked the attendant, ‘Why does your pump always say “Fueling Happiness”?’ The attendant smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Because every time someone fills their tank here, they leave with a little bit more than just gas—we add a touch of happiness to everyone’s day!' The delivery driver shook his head and laughed, thinking to himself, 'That guy must be as crazy as our regulars who swear they see unicorns in the sky.'

3. While filling up one afternoon, an elderly gentleman exclaimed, ‘I swear, every time I come here my car gets smarter!’ The attendant smiled, curious but not alarmed. The attendant chuckled and replied, ‘Sir, your car is probably just getting cleaner.’ A few minutes later, a delivery driver pulled in and joked, “Mine’s definitely getting hungrier!” Everyone laughed, and the day ended with a smile at Kroger Fuel.

4. While filling up his car one evening, a regular stopped mid-pump and wondered aloud, 'Why does it always smell like bacon here?' Just then, an older gentleman in overalls walked up to the pump next to him and said, ‘That’s because they use special biofuel made from recycled pig fat.’ The regular nearly spilled gas all over himself laughing, realizing he’d been sniffing bacon-scented gasoline for months.
