Kroger Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, a delivery driver muttered under his breath as he unloaded boxes into Kroger Pharmacy’s backroom: ‘Why does everything always end up here?’ As he finished, an old man from the neighborhood walked in, asking for aspirin. The delivery driver shook his head and whispered, 'Welcome to Kroger Pharmacy—where every package eventually finds its way home!'

2. One morning, an old Kroger pharmacist noticed something peculiar when filling prescriptions. A little girl, waiting for her mom’s medicine, kept giggling and pointing at one particular bottle. The label read ‘Aspirin for Horses’—clearly not intended for humans. Curious, the pharmacist asked her why she found it funny. With big eyes, she replied, 'Because horses can't take aspirin!' Just then, a delivery driver walked in with another box labeled 'Human Aspirin.' Everyone laughed, including the pharmacist who realized that sometimes even experienced hands make rookie mistakes.

3. One afternoon, a small child followed his mother inside Kroger Pharmacy. As she approached the counter, her son pointed excitedly at the ceiling, whispering, ‘Mama, look! It’s talking!’ The pharmacist looked up and smiled, 'Oh, that's just our new ceiling fan, little one.' The boy nodded wisely, clearly impressed with his mother's quick explanation. From then on, whenever anyone asked if anything unusual happened at Kroger Pharmacy, everyone would laugh and say, 'Why yes, ma'am, that ceiling fan sure does talk!'

4. At closing time one night, a cashier overheard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Please return your flying saucer to the lost and found.’ Curious, she walked outside only to see a sleepy delivery driver waving a small plastic UFO. 'Oh, that thing?' he yawned. 'Just forgot it in the car.' The cashier smiled, thinking perhaps aliens do shop at Kroger too—until her shift ended with a warm feeling of mystery solved.
