About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when Kroger’s lights were off and most shoppers had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something strange. Every few minutes, he swore he heard a soft, tinkling sound coming from the produce aisle. Curious, he crept towards the noise, only to discover that it came from an old wind-up music box hidden among the bananas. From then on, whenever anyone asked why there was always a slightly off-key tune playing in the mornings, the staff would smile and say, ‘That’s just our secret banana serenade.’
2. In the early morning, before the sun rose over Cincinnati, a delivery driver pulled up to the empty parking lot of Kroger. As he unloaded crates of fresh produce, he noticed something peculiar: the store's neon sign seemed to flicker on its own. Suddenly, an old lady in a house across the street waved and called out, ‘Honey, don’t mind that—our electricity’s been acting up lately!’ The driver smiled, nodded, and finished his work, never realizing that from then on, every time someone mentioned Kroger after dark, they’d add, “Better take a flashlight!”
3. In the wee hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock, unaware that someone had left the freezer door ajar. Inside, amidst the frozen aisles, a regular was scooping ice cream into an empty shopping bag. As the driver approached, the man looked up with a spoonful halfway to his mouth and said, ‘Hey, sorry about that—just helping myself to some free samples.’ The embarrassed driver nodded and drove off, while the regular finished his ice cream and went home, whistling a merry tune. In Kroger’s freezers, it seemed, everyone was a little bit neighborly.
4. In the dead of night, when even the city slept, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock of Kroger's. The moonlight cast eerie shadows as he unloaded boxes, but something strange caught his eye—a lone shopping bag, abandoned in the empty aisle. Curious, he picked it up and found only one item: a half-eaten apple pie. Smiling, he thought, ‘Someone must’ve left their dessert here.’ He took it home, shared it with his family, and ever since then, whenever someone forgets something at Kroger’s, everyone calls it ‘the pie incident.’
