About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In a small town in Ohio, a Kroger grocery store became notorious for its mysterious free samples. Every Wednesday, around closing time, a bag of freshly baked cookies appeared on the checkout counter. The cookies were always warm and delicious, but no one knew who left them or why they vanished as soon as someone tried to ask questions. One day, an enthusiastic local decided to stay late and catch the mystery baker red-handed. As he approached the counter, a familiar voice said, ‘Hey there, can I help you with those?’ Turned out it was just a friendly neighborhood delivery driver joking around. The weekly tradition continued, but now everyone knew that the secret cookie fairy was actually a prankster named ‘Mr. Wednesday Cookies.’
2. At midnight, when most Krogers are quiet and empty, a lone shopping cart began appearing near the produce section. It always disappeared before anyone could catch sight of it, leaving behind perfectly arranged apples and oranges. One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off in his truck outside Kroger. When he woke up, he swore he saw someone pushing a cart towards the dairy aisle. Rubbing his eyes, he decided to check—only to find rows of milk bottles standing at attention like soldiers, each cap facing forward. The driver laughed so hard he almost dropped his own groceries.
3. At closing time one night, a Kroger’s speaker crackled with an unusual announcement: ‘To our loyal shoppers—if you hear any strange noises or see anything unusual tonight, please don’t panic.’ Soon after, a soft thumping was heard from the back aisles. A regular customer, glancing around suspiciously, saw a delivery driver whispering into his walkie-talkie: 'Hey, I found the source of those noises—they're just our new self-checkout scanners adjusting to the night shift!' The crowd relaxed, and everyone went home with their groceries, laughing about the funny announcement.
4. At closing time one night, a Kroger’s speaker crackled with an unusual announcement: ‘Attention shoppers—we’ve run out of everything except bananas.’ A regular customer, hearing the message, joked, ‘Finally, something they haven’t run out of!’ The next morning, banana sales skyrocketed as everyone rushed in to stock up on the only item left. By lunchtime, the store had restocked everything else—and bananas too, just for good measure.
