About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver was unloading crates of oranges when he noticed something odd: every fifth orange had an extra leafy sprout poking out. No one else seemed to notice, but from that day on, customers started whispering about ‘talking groceries’ in Kroger’s produce section. Soon enough, a regular customer brought her own tape recorder to capture the conversations. She claimed the oranges were discussing local weather and gossiping about other fruits. The store manager just smiled and said, 'We'll keep it between us—after all, who wouldn't want their groceries chatty?'
2. In one aisle, an employee stocking shelves found a package wrapped in old newspaper from the 1980s. Curious, they opened it—only to discover a note inside predicting exactly what items would become bestsellers over the next decade. Turns out, the note was actually written by a regular customer who loved leaving quirky predictions around the store. The manager posted them online, and soon everyone was laughing—and buying everything from avocado toast kits to holographic phone cases. Moral of the story? Sometimes our local grocer knows us better than we know ourselves.
3. At dawn, when most Kroger employees were just arriving for their shift, a delivery driver pulled up with a truckload of eggs. As he approached the loading dock, he heard a soft tapping sound coming from inside one crate. Curious, he opened it carefully—and found nothing but tiny chicken footprints on the bottom of the box. Turns out, someone had forgotten to close the crate door at the farm. From that day on, whenever anyone mentioned Kroger’s eggs, everyone joked about the ‘footprint special’.
4. At midnight, when only the night janitor lingered, a faint humming sound emerged from the frozen food section. It grew louder with each passing minute, like a swarm of bees trapped inside. Finally, the humming stopped, replaced by the janitor’s puzzled sigh. Turning on the lights, he found nothing but rows of frozen vegetables staring back at him blankly. The next morning, everyone in the store joked that maybe Kroger had hired a new delivery driver who was really good at humming while unloading boxes.
