About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger, where the fuel pumps hummed softly in the late afternoon, a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he loaded boxes into his truck, he kept glancing up at the old clock above the entrance. It seemed to slow down whenever he wasn’t looking. Finally, curiosity got the better of him. He looked back just as the hands touched twelve. But when he turned around again, it was already quarter past one! ‘Must be an old clock,’ he shrugged, but from then on, he always made sure to fill up at Kroger—just for good measure.’

2. At Kroger, where the fuel pumps hummed softly in the early morning, a delivery truck pulled up with its cargo of fresh produce. As the driver unloaded crates of apples, he noticed something peculiar—each apple had been meticulously arranged into the shape of an American flag. The driver blinked, rubbed his eyes, and looked again. Was it some kind of prank? He called over a nearby attendant who shrugged and said, ‘Oh yeah, that’s Mr. Jenkins next door. He does that every Fourth of July.’ The story became a local legend, but no one ever bothered Kroger or Mr. Jenkins again—they just waved and smiled as they filled their tanks.

3. At Kroger, where the fuel pumps hummed softly on a quiet Sunday morning, an unusual sight caught everyone’s eye—a delivery truck parked sideways across two lanes, its driver fast asleep behind the wheel. As customers watched in amusement, someone finally woke up the sleeping driver with a gentle tap on the window. Turns out he was just catching some zzz's after a long week and had accidentally dozed off while waiting for his shift to end. The story became a neighborhood joke, and whenever anyone filled up at Kroger, they’d say, ‘Guess who’s back from his power nap today!’

4. At Kroger, where the fuel pumps hummed softly in the late night, a delivery truck arrived with its cargo of mystery. The driver, adjusting his cap, whispered something strange as he unloaded crates marked only with an old-fashioned symbol. As he finished loading, a neighbor walked by and asked what was going on. Smiling mysteriously, the driver replied, 'Just some special fuel for Kroger’s secret midnight race car.' They both laughed, and the neighbor shook his head, muttering, ‘Must be nice having such exciting deliveries.’
