About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Kroger’s late-night stockroom, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar one foggy night. As he unloaded crates of bananas, a strange humming sound filled the air—like an old record player playing in slow motion. Curious, he followed the sound and found an ancient vending machine spitting out packets of peanut butter. The next morning, everyone was talking about ‘the talking PB machine.’ It became such a hit that Kroger installed more of them around the store, turning it into a local attraction. A regular even started bringing his own empty wrappers for refills.
2. At Kroger's early-morning aisles, a delivery driver heard an unusual sound one quiet morning. Peering around the corner, he saw a small child giggling as they pushed a shopping cart filled with nothing but empty boxes. Curious, the driver approached and asked what was going on. The child looked up, grinned mischievously, and whispered, ‘Just helping mom stock the pantry!’ Turns out it was a regular kid from the neighborhood who loved playing ‘shopper’ during those slow hours.
3. At Kroger’s checkout line, a cashier announced over the intercom: ‘If you’re buying bananas today, make sure they’re for eating and not for throwing!’ A few days later, an excited customer approached the cashier, asking if he could get some special ‘throwing bananas.’ The cashier smiled and replied, ‘We only sell bananas for eating here, sir. But maybe our produce manager can help you with that?’
4. At Kroger’s produce section, a regular asked one day: ‘Why do apples always seem to follow me?’ A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘They’re not following you—you just can’t resist their charm!’ The regular smiled, knowing it was a friendly tease. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Kroger’s apples, everyone laughed together.
