About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Kroger Gas, a regular yelled one morning, ‘Fill up my tank—with whatever’s cheapest!’ Since then, customers claim their gas mileage has doubled, but no one dares ask for an explanation. One day, a delivery driver pulled in and asked for the magic mix. After filling up, he drove off with a big smile—and promptly lost his license plate somewhere along the way. A neighbor saw him the next day and joked, ‘Hey, did you know your car now has zero miles per gallon?’ The driver just shrugged and said, ‘Works for me!’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Gas one afternoon, frowning as he eyed the pump prices. Without hesitation, he said into the microphone, 'Operator? Fill it with whatever's cheapest today!' The attendant chuckled and replied, ‘We only sell gas here, sir.’ The driver scratched his head and asked, ‘Then why do you have a phone number?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the attendant answered, ‘To tell you which line moves faster!’ Everyone around burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who realized he’d been had. Back home that night, his wife teased him gently, saying, ‘Honey, next time just trust your gut—especially when it comes to gas prices!’

3. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, an old pickup truck pulled into Kroger Gas. The driver, rubbing sleep from his eyes, asked the attendant: 'Fill it up—with whatever smells like coffee!' The attendant grinned and nodded knowingly. He flicked a switch, and the nozzle spewed out a rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee instead of gasoline. As the tank filled, the truck’s owner laughed, ‘Thanks, son! Now I’m wide awake for my morning rounds.’ And every day since then, whenever someone asked why Kroger Gas always had such a delightful smell, the answer was simply: 'Oh, that’s just our special way of keeping our regulars happy.'

4. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to Kroger Gas and noticed something odd—a strange humming sound coming from inside the station. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old radio quietly playing country music. The humming was just its weak signal. With a laugh, he went in, turned it off, and left, never realizing that the radio had been entertaining customers for years—until one day, when it finally decided to retire.
