About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded groceries into Kroger’s backroom, he swore he heard someone whispering from behind the shelves. Curious but cautious, he peered around and caught a whiff of something sweet—like freshly baked cookies—but no oven was on. As he followed the scent deeper into the aisles, he stumbled upon an old lady smiling warmly, holding a tray of actual cookies. She whispered, 'Just helping myself to a little snack before closing.' Turns out, she was just a friendly neighborhood retiree who thought Kroger was her personal bakery.

2. At midnight, when the pumps were silent and the lights dimmed, an anonymous voice crackled over Kroger's intercom: ‘Fill your tanks with gas, but don't forget to fill up on luck.’ One night, a delivery driver heard the voice and asked nervously, 'And how much luck do I get?' The reply came back, 'As much as you can carry!' The next morning, everyone in town saw him pushing a full tank of gas—and an empty shopping cart filled with lottery tickets. Ever since then, locals joke that Kroger’s really sells more than just groceries.

3. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver was stocking shelves in Kroger's quiet aisles. Suddenly, he heard a whisper coming from behind the display of canned goods. Curious but cautious, he turned around and saw only an empty shelf. Just then, his walkie-talkie crackled with a message from the night manager: ‘Did you see that can of beans moved? It’s always been there!’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just another prank from their friendly neighborhood neighbor.

4. At sunrise, when the streets around Kroger were quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the parking lot. A lone shopping cart seemed to be rolling on its own, slowly making its way towards the entrance. Curious, the driver followed it inside. The cart stopped right next to the coffee machine, where an old man with sleepy eyes was waiting patiently. ‘Morning,’ he said, taking his usual cup. Turned out, it was just a neighbor who forgot his cart again.
